Intro

Verse 1:
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Verse 2:
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Verse 3:
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Chorus:
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Verse 4:
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Chorus:
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

Never opened myself this way

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Chorus (2):
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they played
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know...
Yeah yeah!

Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters
