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
