    Lyrics:
    When I was a young boy
    I was scared of growing up
    I didn’t understand it
    But I was terrified of love
    Felt like I had to choose
    But it was out of my control
    I needed to be saved
    I was going crazy on my own
    It took me years to tell my mother
    I expected the worst
    I gathered all the courage in the world
    She said I love you no matter what
    I just want you to be happy
    And always be who you are
    She wrapped her arms around me
    Said don’t try to be what you're not
    Cos I love you no matter what
    She loves me no matter what
    Got a little older
    Wishing all my time away
    Riding on the pavement
    Every sunny day was grey
    I trusted in my friends
    Then all my world came crushing down
    I wish I never said a thing
    Cos to them I'm a stranger now
    I ran home, I saw my mother
    It was written on my face
    Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break
    She said I love you no matter what
    I just want you to be happy
    And always be who you are
    She wrapped her arms around me
    Said don’t try to be what you're not
    Cos I love you no matter what
    Yeahhh
    Now I’m a man and I’m so much wiser
    I walk the Earth with my head held higher
    I got the love that I need
    But I was still missing one special piece
    My father looked at me
    He said I love you no matter what
    I just want you to be happy
    And always be who you are
    They wrapped their arms around me
    Said don’t try to be what you're not
    Cos we love you no matter what
    They love me no matter what

    Reading the comments in here is heartwarming, devastating but incredibly humbling to know just how many people have related to the message in the song, within the lyrics, see themselves or a loved one in the video.. it is an honour to read these incredibly honest stories from your own lives and experiences.
    I will never be able to show how grateful I am to you for allowing my music to be a part of your life in such a pure and sincere way. It is genuinely what I consider my greatest achievement.
    Forever grateful. x

    I am a 61 year old straight woman. This makes me cry because I didn't have the support of my parents for anything. I never quite measured up, even though I never got into any trouble, took care of everyone else, got straight A's in school and raised 3 kids without help. At 59, I was diagnosed with ADHD which explained all the things they always told me were my "character flaws". Thank you for this song that reaches so many people who have gone without support and unconditional love for whatever reasons. I have loved your music ever since I first saw you on BGT. Love to you and Jade

      Du brauchst nur einen Freund wenn es der richtige ist! Falsche Freunde ziehen dich nur runter und stehen nicht an deiner Seite wenn es drauf ankommt.
      Zu einem Outing, gerade während man noch in der Schule ist, gehört eine Menge Mut...

      I love that advice and it's absolutely true. My whole life I was so afraid of telling my family and friends the truth that I was gay. I never got the courage to say anything I have kept this my whole life. My parents died 5 years ago and I never told them anything. Now my half sisters know that I am gay and she told me I was disgusting and said some horrible things to me and she absolutely came at me because of all sorts of things. Someone who said I would always be taken care of totally lied to my moms last request. She has totally disowned me. I still hold this inside me and til this day hardly no one knows that I am gay. I feel so alone in this world because everyone has someone and I am all alone in this world and seems no one cares and loves me at all. I cry all the time and a lot of days I am so heartbroken because I've been disabled for over 33 years and I live all alone now in my parents house. Sometimes I wish I was the one who died and my parents and baby brother was alive instead of me.

Religions where founded cause stupidy didn't heared about science. If there would be something what you may call "God", believe me: this eternity would be a badass at its finest. Human mankind didn't learn over thousands of years. We are still the same barbarian shit we were from the beginning. We fight wars against each other for land or gold or power, we still murder cause we are dumb and selfish. If there is a God, we are his entertainment and obviously "it" loves to see us failing.

      You son is a very lucky gay man who has a supportive mother just as I did! I hope that he and his partner have many years to experience together and they remain devoted to each other. Because you raised him knowing that you loved him “No Matter What!” he will be able to love himself and also love others without hesitation! For that you have earned the right to be proud of yourself as well as him.
      As I am writing this to you I am fighting back my tears. I only wish that I still had my Mom here with me! I miss her everyday!! As the famous poem says “If only Heaven had steps to climb I would have started climbing them the moment she passed away! Your story has blessed me with sweet memories of my Mom and the unconditional love that she felt for me and she was never afraid to show me that love! When everyone turned their back to me she was standing there beside me and never waivered in her love for me!
      Parents fail to realize how much what they show their kids how much they are loved by them! Painful and hurtful words that are spit out towards them cause deep pain in their children. I can remember when and how my father said things to me that were intensely hurtful for me. I can’t erase or ignore the words that he spoke to me with such venomous tongue!! I will carry that pain with me until I pass away and join my Mom again. I will again have happiness in my life! That day and time will certainly happy for me! I will be able to rejoice once again!!
      I wish to Thank you again for sharing your story with all of us who are LGBT humans who happen to love those who love some people have decided that we should not be allowed to love who we want to! The situation is definitely improving with people’s attitude towards LGBT citizens. We are no where close to where we should be but we are making small advancements with that!! I am thankful for that at least!
      When I served my country in the US Navy I was not allowed to be a gay man wanting to serve and protect my country from evil and bad things happening here where we live and call home. I was constantly hassled about my sexuality! I was a very good soldier and was asked to rejoin the military that I loved and was proud to serve in. I was given a honorable discharge with full Veteran’s Rights! I just could not express how I felt and was denied my right to be able to love who or whatever I chose!! I remain bitter about this even today! Who do they think gave them the right to decide who I was allowed to truly love?? Today young LGBT humans can openly serve their country without shame or fear about who they love. I am thankful and proud that maybe I helped the future soldiers who just happen to be LGBT being allowed to serve as proud soldiers who are not forced to deny themselves happiness! Maybe I helped with our cause! Even after all the disappointments and shame I was forced to endure throughout my life I am a very proud GAY man who despite many obstacles being placed before me I was successful in competition of my problem and duty to protect my country and my President from any harm happening here in MY COUNTRY THAT I LOVE SO MUCH AND GAVE UP SO MUCH OF MYSELF TO SERVE WITH HONOR!
      I am so sorry for using this platform to vent my feelings so openly and so much pain with me!!

    At 33, I am still healing and accepting who I am and deconstructing old toxic beliefs that damaged my self worth as a person. Religion made me hate my humanity. I don't need religion moving forward from all the pain it caused me. I will find and shine my own light from now on and find joy and pride in the things I do to bring goodness to this world.

      Good on you! And I completely agree with a few of the statements you made, sadly, religion does in fact destroy many people like in this example. It's a serious problem that people like you have to go through this, and have this self hatred because of the hatred they were around while growing up. I'm not saying all religions are bad but it is truly devastating that a lot of them include so much anger, indoctrination, hypocrisy, and overall hatred.

And listening to this song helps me to remember that I also have someone to rely on, someone who provides me a place to be myself, to be vulnerable around them and they will still love me no matter what. ❤️

    We’ve been having some misunderstandings
    In which she says hurtful things to me
    Things I don’t expect her to say to me
    Never had a real conversation about my life with her
    She doesn’t even know what I’m going through
    I’m literally crying whiles writing this
    My dad been outside the country for 19 years also
    He traveled a month later when I was born and came 12 years later
    And since then it’s been my mom and I
    I don’t have no friends
    I don’t have no one to talk to
    It’s just me and my depressed soul
    I listen and watch this music video cause it’s literally the exact same thing with my ife
    People I cared about no more look out for me
    I hope I one day come here when all my problems are solved

Maybe your mom is struggling too . If you don't talk to her about whats going on and maybe she isn't talking to you about what's going on then you both suffer. There is no excuse on earth for a mother to lash out and say terrible things to you. Im sorry that she has done this. Its not easy being a mom and definitely not easy growing up on today's world. I hope that maybe having an honest conversation will break thru this dark place. I'm sure that she loves you no matter what. And if she can't be the mom that you need, you be strong. You be positive. You become the best person you can be. Enjoy your life. There are plenty of beautiful souls out here that will love you no matter what!!!

    When I was a young boy I was scared of growing up
    I didn’t understand it but I was terrified of love
    Felt like I had to choose but it was outta my control
    I needed to be saved, I was going crazy on my own
    Took me years to tell my mother, I expected the worst
    I gathered all the courage in the world
    She said, "I love you no matter what
    I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
    She wrapped her arms around me
    Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
    'Cause I love you no matter what"
    She loves me no matter what
    I got a little older wishing all my time away
    Riding on the pavement, every sunny day was grey
    I trusted in my friends then all my world came crashing down
    I wish I never said a thing 'cause to them I’m a stranger now
    I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face
    Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break
    She said, "I love you no matter what
    I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
    She wrapped her arms around me
    Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
    'Cause I love you no matter what"
    She loves me no matter what
    Now I’m a man and I’m so much wiser
    I walk the earth with my head held higher
    I got the love that I need
    But I was still missing one special piece
    My father looked at me
    He said I love you no matter what
    I just want you to be happy and always be who you are
    He wrapped his arms around me
    Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
    'Cause I love you no matter what"
    He loves me no matter what
    They love me no matter what

    I am a gay Moroccan, and this song tells my story. When I was 13, I confided in my close friend that I am gay. He then spread the news among my classmates, and they started threatening to expose and blackmail me for money. At that time, being a young child with nothing, I became introverted and afraid to leave home to avoid confrontation. I developed a fear of people due to excessive anxiety and trauma. For 15 years, I lived without a single friend, keeping everything to myself. Last year, I visited a mental health professional in my city, who diagnosed me with obsessive-compulsive disorder resulting from childhood trauma. He treated me, and my condition has improved significantly. I finally confessed everything to my family, but they did not accept it. Nevertheless, I still love them. I advise anyone in a similar situation, especially in less progressive countries, to seek help from a mental health professional. It can make a significant difference.

Someone who is gay stay the same person, the only thing that changes is that he or she will be attracted by men or women. It's just love! You can't stop someone for loving, you can't hate someone for loving... Love is love!! Then for the reproducing part, if gays could reproduce and have babies, it wouldn't mean that the child would be gay... Cause there is no gay gene, you can't see if someone is gay by it's DNA... So the child could be straight! And you know... Stop blaming gays about this... Because it's the straight people that are having gay babies. So can you just please let the gays love...

My mom knows, but says nothing about it pretending she doesn’t know, and she doesn’t want my dad to find out. My dad is old school, really homophobic. When I move out, I hope to also get the courage to tell him. Tell them both directly. My mother only knows because I was indirectly showing. I’ll come back here in some years and let you guys know how it goes. Fingers crossed.

    This is such a SONG. Not all of us were lucky enough to get the response you received from your parents. It's not something one can explain really, being gay is scary in a world full of idiots. And when those closest to you accept it, it makes you feel like you can move mountains. On the other hand, when they don't, it breaks a big part of you. What a song, beautiful Calum xxx

    I am now a woman who has had the immense luck of being raised to give and demand respect no matter race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. To all the youth and oldest struggling with self acceptance, you are deserving of love and a great live. If your parents and your friends don’t understand that, it’s not your fault. Look out for yourselves and those who love you, you don’t own anything to anyone. I am crying while typing this now, shit. I give you all virtual hugs, have a great life. ❤

    One of my greatest childhood friends came out after he moved away. He said he waited because the other kids at the school would have destroyed him and that he was afraid of what his two best friends would say. We would have stood by him and fought the war with him. He was an amazing person who was tired of seeing people be ugly towards one another. He was a scared young boy who grew into a hardworking man that was comfortable with who he was and he embraced others for who they were. Differences never mattered to him and smiling is something he really enjoyed. Unfortunately this great man was a victim in the shooting in Las Vegas and he passes away in the arms of his boyfriend that loves him to the end of the universe. You can't put a limit on love and I am deeply saddened for anyone that thinks they have to hide who they are for the sake of others. And I will always be proud of everyone that has found the courage to stand up and stand out. I am a straight woman but who am I or anyone else for that matter to have a right to tell strangers who they are supposed to love? It doesn't work that way. I love you all. You are not broken. You are human that carries human emotions, no matter what the size, race, sexual orientation etc. Love is Love and it is interpreted through each person differently. Just because it's different doesn't mean it makes it wrong. ❤

      I feel sorry for your lost. I knew how devastated it must be. To be honest i felt it, i am feeling it. Because it happened to me. My BF died because of cancer couple months ago. We’ve been together for 13 years. I accompanied him beside his bed when he was dying. It was the scariest moment i ever felt. But what scarier is that there were no family of him present during his last time. All of them against him because his decision to be in relationship with another man whom he loved so truly. I would never have a word to express how heartless they were. So i listened to this song a lot and i dream in the future, people will be more educated and more understood that love is the greatest give and we can love whoever we want and there’s nothing wrong about it. When we’re in love we just the person for who they are, not because of gender, racial, religion or anything. And by reading your encouraging positive words, i feel confident that my dream will becoming reality 💖

    I actually heard that song on the radio for the first time just yesterday and I can't even begin to describe what hearing it made me feel like inside. So I decided to search for the video on youtube and when I actually saw the lyrics it made me want to cry even more(sry I am not local and English is not my native tongue so I just didn't catch all the lyrics at once i guess). Hearing that song made me realize how often we don't appreciate or comprehend the love from our loved ones or often misinterpret it. Also how often it takes something tragical to finally understand it....to get there. Remember that the love from our loved ones is purest love it can be! Always. Also - Calum! You are just an INCREDIBLE guy for making such a pure and honest song. I can say something like this tends to become rare these days unfortunately! THANK YOU a thousand times for making people realize what really matters the most in life through your beautiful music!!!!!
    LOVE ,
    Merileid.

I didn't have a mother or a father to hold me, I walked thru all by myself, it was difficult 45 years ago when I start feeling "I didn't belong" but fortunately I was able to handle the "pain and loneliness" and created my own family with very close friends. The message is clear, I hope all the parents can understand it and love their kids "No matter what". Thank you Calum!

    I'm a bit older, in my 70's now, so when I finally worked up the courage to tell my Mom I was gay I truly expected the worst, since things were a lot different back then. She gave me a hug and said, "Well, I guess I've been wrong about gay people my whole life, because to me you're perfect, and I love you just the way you are." My Dad and siblings took a bit longer to come around, but I knew I always had my Mom in my corner--she allowed no one to say anything negative about it. She died at 92 ten years ago, and this song brings tears because it reminds me of her and I truly miss her so much--never knew another like her.

      @ibrahim khan This question isn't as easy to answer (in my opinion) as a lot of people think. This is due to the fact that sexual attraction is a full scale and not just a binary scale for lots of people. However, in my own case, from the time I was very young, I was only attracted to males. I liked girls, but only as friends and I never fantasized about having sex with them. However, I've talked to lots of people, and everyone's experiences seem to be a bit different. I do know that certain religions and cultures can emphasize the "wrongness" of being gay to such an extent, that many people deny their own feelings for many years in order to conform to family and cultural expectations. It would even be a good idea to find a counselor you can trust to just talk to without worrying about being judged to find your own way to understanding your own feelings outside the demands of other people. I would add that most people who "wonder" if they're gay, almost always are, because very few straight people ever wonder. The wondering usually comes from trying to reconcile feelings with cultural expectations. I wish you well.
