Beat Yourself Up

Since you were a boy, you took the weight of the world
And held onto it 'til you fell to the ground
Like you had no choice
You did it for your little girl
So she would never feel the way you do now

I know it gets (So hard, so hard)
And it always seems to go on (And on, and on)
But it's okay

Please don't beat yourself up, oh, whatever you do
'Cause that doesn't do nothin', but just break you in two
Please don't beat yourself up
though you made some mistakes
But you know it means somethin'
when you'll live one more day

When you're seventeen (Seventeen)
And you're feelin' so bold, ah
And realize you gotta do what you're told
Now you're twenty-three
and you're only worth what you sold
But my mother said
"Some things are worth more than gold"

I feel it now (So hard, so hard)
And it always seems to go on (And on, and on)
On and on, but it's okay

Please don't beat yourself up, oh
whatever you do (Whatever you do)
'Cause that doesn't do nothin' (Oh)
But just break you in two
Please don't beat yourself up (Up)
though you made some mistakes
But you know it means somethin'
when you'll live one more day (Day)

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Na-na-na-na)

You gotta feel the joy
And laugh 'til it hurts
And thank God every day you're still on this earth
If you got a voice (Got a voice)
It belongs in this world, so
Hear me out (Hear me out)
Hear me out (Hear me out)
How do you feel now?

Please don't beat yourself up, oh, whatever you do
'Cause that doesn't do nothin', but just break you in two
Please don't beat yourself up (Up)
though you made some mistakes (Mistakes)
But you know what means somethin'
when you'll live one more day (Live one more day)
Please don't beat yourself up, oh
whatever you do (Whatever you do, oh)
'Cause it doesn't do nothin'
Sut just break you in two (Break you in two)
Please don't beat yourself up
Though you made some mistakes
(Made some mistakes)
But you know it means somethin'
when you'll live one more day (Live one more day)

Ah, yeah, ah-na-na, no, no
When you'll live one more day
