Every sedond of the day you're dying for some passion
Want has turned in to a need, then turned into obsession
Even though you try so hard your live ain't what you dream of
Running, chasing, wanting more but turn away from real love
And there's always someone there to pull you down
And you never see the truth that wears you out

Why you're so hard on yourself
You know it's bringing me down
You're so hard on yourself
Why you're so hard on yourself
You know it's bringing me down
You always get in trouble, down
You always get in trouble

Everytime the mirror turns to you you're scared and frightened
You don't want to face the facts you want to be enlightened
Trying to get through to you I don't get no connection
Running, chasing, wanting more, avoiding all protection
And there's always someone there to pull you down

Why you're so hard on yourself
You know it's bringing me down
You're so hard on yourself
Why you're so hard on yourself
You know it's bringing me down
You always get in trouble, down
You always get in trouble
