Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

(album: The Best Of Luck Club - 2019)

You sound tired on the phone
It's fair enough, it's been awhile since you've been home
You say the smile on your face has 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 are sick of feeling
That all your time
Is waiting to be weighted
By something you are missing

You take off at Cape Canaveral
And pick me up like Coach Bombay
You're school captain every year
You're 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 are ready for the end

Oh, sometimes
You get a little teary
'Cause you are sick of feeling
That all your time
Is waiting to be weighted
By something you are missing

You take off at Cape Canaveral
And pick me up like Coach Bombay
You're school captain every year
You're 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

No regrets when you get old
'Cause you won't stop 'til the stars turn cold
You want things done by yesterday
A force of nature everywhere
Don't always have to grin and bear it
Even when you're far away

You take off at Cape Canaveral
And pick me up like Coach Bombay
You're school captain every year
You're 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

Don't be so hard on yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself
But don't but don't be so hard on yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself
But don't but don't be so hard on yourself
