Atlas Lyrics by Guns N’ Roses
Oh, I sit down, try and judge
The things they say that just won’t budge
I’m letting go
Oh, I’m scared to run the blind
So few manners to be kind
But still enough to show me
How to keep it together
When my heart’s crying out in vain
No matter who’s to blame, there’s still a ways to go
So if you ask me to believe
Your heart won’t bother you
It’s got a mind of its own
When it says run every road gets rough
And you’re the one who showed us just ain’t quite enough
Who showed you strong will and had enough
I’ll be the last to say don’t follow your heart
But you’re only one it takes to be a man
Than what you know, what you’ve shown
That’s all we know, you understand
It’s not the thing, if I were you
I would say all that I do to be
How can strong I still belong?
Oh, if you should take the time
To look back at what you find
You’re a misadventure
When it says run every road gets rough
And you’re the one who showed us just ain’t quite enough
Who showed you strong will and had enough
I’ll be the last to say don’t follow your heart
But there’s more than what it takes to be a man
That what you know
Than what you’ve shown
That’s all we know, you understand
In fact, I’d never say don’t follow your heart
If I thought that’s what it takes to make a man
From what you’ve known and all that you’ve been shown
Jesus, I hope you understand
I’ll be the last to say
Don’t follow your heart
But there’s more to what it takes to be a man
That what you know
Than what you’ve shown
That love will always understand
And I’ve got nothing to say
Don’t follow your heart
I thought that’s what it took to make a man
From all you’ve known
And all that you’ve been shown
Jesus, I hope you understand
