No Matter What
●Papa Roach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need you, right here
By my side
You're everything I'm not, in my life
We're indestructible, we are untouchable
Nothing can take us down tonight
You are so beautiful
It should be criminal, that you could be mine
And we will make it out alive
I promise you this love will never die

No matter what
I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to god
That in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing

So believe me
When I say
You're the one
They'll never forgive us for the things we've done

We will make it out alive
I promise you this love will never die

No matter what
I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to god
That in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing

We'll never fall
We'll never fade
I promise you forever
And my soul to take
No matter what
Until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing

And everybody said that we would never last
And if they saw us now
I bet they'd take it back
It doesn't matter what we do
Or what we say
'Cause nothing matters anyway

No matter what
I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to god
That in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing

We'll never fall (we'll never fall)
We'll never fade (we'll never fade)
No matter what




Until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
