Nothing Else Matters Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting 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
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

[Chorus]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
I 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 6]
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 say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 7]
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

[Instrumental Outro]

We worked so hard on the record for so long, and to take that music around the world like we did was really, hugely powerful. “Nothing Else Matters” was No.1 in 35 countries the same week or some shit and all of a sudden there’s countries calling that never would’ve entertained the thought of an Ame...

What has James Hetfield said about the song?

“Nothing Else Matters” was a song for me. It was not to be heard by the general public. It was a song written in hotel rooms on [‘Justice’] tour about missing friends at home, being out for such a long time. That was a song that was not meant to be played for other people, it was for me. I think tha...
