Atlas

(album: An Unlikely Origin Story - 2021)

Hey, little one
Don't worry about the small things
Because they won't be there tomorrow
Hey, little one
Don't waste your youth on a broken heart
'Cause before you know it'll be gone

'Cause we waited years and years
Just to make it worth the tears
To find out that we're not in this alone
So keep your head up high
In these hours of the night
So when Atlas drops the world on your shoulders
You still won't fall

Welcome to the world of pretend
We pretend we don't feel pain
We pretend we've never felt alone
Never felt alone in this world
Even though being alone is what keeps me up
And it's easy to fake sometimes
'Cause life is a movie and we could say all of our lines
And put on a smile fix the paint and make it look alright
And maybe they'll believe my lies
But that middle school proved too much for me
Busy tryna find my place, forgetting where I came from, where I came from, yeah
I'm gone and I know
And no one ever said it'd be this hard
Ran from the questions and doubt from the start
Wondered where I came from, where I came from way back home

Hey, little one
Don't worry about the small things
Because they won't be there tomorrow
Hey, little one
Don't waste your youth on a broken heart
'Cause before you know it'll be gone

'Cause we waited years and years
Just to make it worth the tears
To find out that we're not in this alone
So keep your head up high
In these hours of the night
So when Atlas drops the world on your shoulders
You still won't fall

So you still stand tall
When the questions get harder to answer and everything closes in
'Cause all these things pass with some time
And I trust that you'll still stay the same

'Cause we waited years and years
Just to make it worth the tears
To find out that we're not in this alone
So keep your head up high
In these hours of the night
So when Atlas drops the world on your shoulders
You still won't fall

Don't worry about the small things
Because they won't be there tomorrow
Hey, little one
Don't waste your youth on a broken heart
'Cause before you know it'll be gone
Oh, before you know it'll be gone
