Why is it so hard to treat yourself with the respect

That you would give anybody else

Why can't you be on your own side

Get off your back a little while

Do you think you're not susceptible

To falling head first into yourself

You know your story can't ever change

'till you get off your back again

If you only had a reason

For those mirrors wrapped around your head

Come out and see things from where you don't stand

What if you gave yourself half a chance

You know you have to enjoy the ride

Off your back a little while,
