[Verse 1]
When I was very young
Nothing really mattered to me
But making myself happy
I was the only one
Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you

[Refrain]
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
The future
The future
The future

[Verse 2]
When I was very young
Nothing really mattеred to me
But making myself happy
I was thе only one
(I was the only one)
Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you

[Verse 3]
Looking at my life
It's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one
(I was the only one)
I realize
That nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins

[Chorus]
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me

[Refrain]
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
The future
The future
The future

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Nothing really matters
(Nothing really matters)
Love is all we need
(Love is all we need)
Everything I give you
(Everything I give you)
All comes back to
Nothing really matters
(Nothing really matters)
Love is all we need
(Love is all we need)
Everything I give you
(Everything I give you)
All comes back to me

[Outro]
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
The future
