Lyrics
0:03You seem so young again
0:07I think that's because you're in pain
0:13Don't be so hard on yourself
0:17For God's sake have a cigarette
0:23And don't stoop to laugh at yourself
0:27Have another cigarette
0:32Have a drink talk too loud
0:37Be a fool in the crowd
0:41But forgive yourself
0:45Forgive yourself
0:49To sing is to pray twice
0:54And I hate people who give me advice
0:58When you mess up
1:06And baby you'll mess up
1:17And you seem so young again
1:22Oh but it's hard to explain
1:27Don't be so hard on yourself
1:31Don't think you're inappropriate
1:37And don't just discard your old self
1:42You're never inappropriate
1:46In a world of micro-aggressions
1:52Little human transgressions
1:55Forgive yourself
1:59Forgive yourself
2:03To sing is to pray twice
2:08And I hate people who give me advice
2:12When you mess up
2:20And baby you'll mess up
2:30When you mess up
2:38And Christ we all mess up
You seem so young again I think that's because you're in pain Don't be so hard on yourself For God's sake have a cigarette And don't stoop to laugh at yourself Have another cigarette Have a drink talk too loud Be a fool in the crowd But forgive yourself Forgive yourself To sing is to pray twice And I hate people who give me advice When you mess up And baby you'll mess up And you seem so young again Oh but it's hard to explain Don't be so hard on yourself Don't think you're inappropriate And don't just discard your old self You're never inappropriate In a world of micro-aggressions Little human transgressions Forgive yourself Forgive yourself To sing is to pray twice And I hate people who give me advice When you mess up And baby you'll mess up When you mess up And Christ we all mess up
