Lyrics

Hard On Yourself

V1: Got a friend and he plays it by the book
And he's just like you---living after someone else's expectations.

Br: Each morning, it's hard to get up: too late the night before;
You manage to make it anyhow, now you're back for more.
Living in the darkness, yeah, of a haunted past...

Ch: Oh, you're hard on yourself, you're hard on yourself.

V2: It's time to kick the damn thing loose, turn on the juice.
Hope you find some peace of mind; keep your neck
out of the noose.
You're gonna be the best one you can be, but you're
hard on yourself;
Give up what the rest may think it sees.

Br: It's time to look beyond, such a, gray horizon.
Paint a picture of your success, you're doing better
than the rest.
Aren't you tired of the way things are supposed to be?

Ch: Yeah, cause you're hard on yourself,
Baby, you're hard on yourself,
You're so damned hard on yourself.

Br: Each morning it's hard to get up, too late the night before,
Now is your moment of power, baby, hold it up to the light.
Take some time to look beyond that morning mirror---
And watch that sack of gold, as you're swinging for your life!

Ch: You're hard on yourself, so hard on yourself,
Wishing you were being someone else.
Oh, baby, let it go, my darling,
You're hard on yourself, you are too hard on yourself.
So hard on yourself...
