lyrics

Oh
Why should I try and judge the things they say
They just won’t budge, I’m letting go

Oh
It's a shelter from the blind
Still you managed to be kind
But not 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 are ways to go

So, if you ask me to believe your heart won’t follow you
It’s got a mind of its own

When it goes wrong and the road gets rough
And you’re the one
Whose shoulders just ain’t wide enough
Whose shoulders shrug when they’ve had enough

I’ll be the last to say, "Don’t follow your heart"
But there’s more to what it takes to be a man
Than what you know
It's what you’ve shown
Than that we know you understand

Oh
Another thing, if I were you
I would say all that I do
To be half as strong or still belong

Oh
Well maybe you should take the time
To look back at what you'd find
Your own misadventures

When it goes wrong and the road gets rough
And you’re the one
Whose shoulders just ain’t wide enough
Whose shoulders shrug when they’ve had enough

I’ll be the last to say, "Don’t follow your heart"
But there’s more to what it takes to be a man, oh
Than what you know
It's what you’ve shown
Than that 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, oh
From what you've known
All that you’ve been shown
Jesus, how I hoped you'd understand
Yeah

I’ll be the last to say, "Don’t follow your heart"
But there’s more to what it takes to be a man, oh
Than what you know
It's what you’ve shown
And that 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, oh
From what you've known
All that you’ve been shown
Jesus, how I hoped you'd understand
