Broken promises and bridge burned
Don’t be so hard yourself
Best intentions and lessons learned
Don’t be so hard yourself
You fell short and you went too far
Don’t be so hard yourself
Ya, life is just a shooting star
Don’t be so hard yourself
You only get one chance
It’s your last dance
Then last call
And we all fall
So make it a joyride
Take it world wide
It’s alright
It’s your life
You were looking for the courage to change
Don’t be so hard yourself
In a world that’s broken down brutal & strange
Don’t be so hard yourself
You beat yourself up for too many years
Don’t be so hard yourself
Lost memories and wasted tears
Don’t be so hard yourself
Chorus
We’ve made it this far
We’ve made it this far
We wait & worry, wonder & doubt
Don’t be so hard yourself
You tried your best and it didn't work out
Don’t be so hard yourself
I had to laugh because I wanted to cry
Don’t be so hard yourself
And then in all in a flash it goes flying by
Don’t be so hard yourself
Chorus
We’ve made it this far
We’ve made it this far

I feel like a dork for just now (May 2021) stumbling on this alternate version of GOODBYE Blue Monday. If it's half as good as the original, it'll still be twice as good as most of the other music out there. sandymanthemusicfan

Best singer songwriter out there. Very inspirational. Miss the Gibson LG-2 though (I think that’s the model he played). Even bought myself a Waterloo WL-12 due to his inspiration owning a Waterloo scissor tail (14-fret version) and LG-2 (sunburst). Worth a listen for sure! callumkeys90
