You wait for someone to choose you / You wait for someone to stay / But the only love that you’re used to / Is the kind that goes away / You’re thinking maybe your daddy was right when / He said you’re just a mistake / But I was holding your heart when / Those cold words made it break / My love, My love, My love / My love is unchangeable / And there’s nothing you can do to change
My mind / They’ll make you feel like you’re worthless / ‘Til you believe that it’s true / But I look at you and see priceless / They don’t know you like I do / I dreamed you into existence / I put the stars in your eyes / Now let the truth of this promise / Speak louder than the lies / My love, My love, My love / My love is unchangeable / And there’s nothing you can do to change My mind /
My love, My love, My love / My love is unchangeable / And My love is gonna change your mind / You’re not a mistake / You’re not a mistake / I know the plans I have for you / To give you a hope and a future / My love, My love, My love / My love is unchangeable / And there’s nothing you can do to change My mind / My love, My love, My love / My love is unchangeable / And my love is gonna change your life / When the world walks away I will stay with you / You are not a mistake

Behind the Song:
SO MANY STORIES I READ DEALT WITH THE DAMAGE OF WORDS. EITHER HARSH AND DEFEATING WORDS SPOKEN OR THE WORDS “I LOVE YOU,” THAT SOMEONE ALWAYS LONGED TO HEAR FROM A PARENT BUT NEVER DID. ONE GIRL DREAMED OF THE DAY SHE WOULD MEET HER BIRTH FATHER. AFTER 18 YEARS OF WAITING, THE ONLY THING HE SAID TO HER WAS “YOU WERE JUST A MISTAKE.” THIS IS ABOUT REPLACING THE DAMAGING WORDS AND LIES THE WORLD TELLS US WITH THE HEALING TRUTH OF GOD’S WORDS. THAT WE ARE LOVED, AND NEVER FORSAKEN. GOD NEVER CHANGES HIS MIND ABOUT US. WE ARE NOT A MISTAKE. - Matthew West
