Don’t Be so Hard on Yourself

You sound tired on the phone
 It's fair enough, it's been a while since you've been home
 You say the smile on your face is gone beyond the realms of pretend
 It's clear to me, you've reached your limit once again
 Oh, sometimes
 You get a little teary 'cause you were sick of feeling
 That all your time
 Is waiting to be weighted by something you were missing
 You take off at Cape Canaveral
 And pick me up like coach Bombay
 You're school captain every year
 Christmas without Boxing Day
 You haven't had a day off in weeks
 Your voice is shaking when you speak
 It might not be my place to help
 But don't, but don't, but don't
 Be so hard on yourself
 ♪
 You don't do anything by halves
 Don't change, because I've known that from the start
 You say that things are spinning around and around
 And you've lost control and you need to slow down
 It's clear to me that you were ready for the end
 Oh, sometimes
 You get a little teary 'cause you were sick of feeling
 That all your time
 Is waiting to be weighted by something you were missing
 You take off at Cape Canaveral
 And pick me up like coach Bombay
 You're school captain every year

 Christmas without Boxing Day

 But don't, but don't, but don't
 Be so hard on yourself
 ♪
 No regrets when you get old
 'cause you won't stop til the stars turn gold
 You want things done by yesterday
 
 A force of nature everywhere
 Don't always have to grin and bear
 And even when you're far away
