How can you live with yourself When you can't live with anybody else How can you live with your choices When you ignore your inner voices How can you live with yourself When you don't think of anybody else How can you wake up in the morning When your web of lies keeps forming And it's you not him, not her, not work It's not anyone that's bringing you down And while it's true that you can't please everyone You can't please anyone Not even yourself How can you live with yourself When you don't live for anybody else How can you carry all that baggage And think your family won't be damaged And it's you not him not her not work It's not anyone that's bringing you down And while it's true that you can't please everyone You can't please anyone Not even yourself I think it's time I bring perspective to your life And shine a light on all the things that you just aren't doing right The choices that you're making You're throwing it away and All that you've built up The people that you love Your wife's upset again And you kids are disappointed again Your life is wearing thin and it's time that you reeled it in How can you live with yourself When you can't live with anybody else How can you live with your choices When you ignore your inner voices And it's you not him not her, not work It's not anyone that's bringing you down And while it's true that you can't please everyone You can't please anyone Not even yourself
