Atlas - Livingston

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
