[Verse 1]
It's like getting lost in a photograph
In something you can't resist
What you thought
As it slows you down you know
How could you find love when you hesitate?
Believing in all those things that you thought
Yesterday

[Pre-Chorus]
You hit a wall, you hit a wall in silence
Yesterday
And you see it fall, keep on trying

[Chorus]
And you try to escape it on your own
Tell me why you gotta be so hard on yourself now?
When its killing you all along
When you hope but your hope is gone
Tell me why you gotta be so hard on yourself now?

[Verse 2]
You tested time, is it true at all?
Tell me what would be left to see here through it all?
All the stories that you told
When you're just like a child acting so innocent
Never worried about a thing until it's gone
Yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
When you hit a wall, you hit a wall in silence
Yesterday
Can you see it fall? Keep on trying

[Chorus]
And you try to escape it on your own
Tell me why you gotta be so hard on yourself now?
When its killing you all along
When you hope, and your hope is gone
Tell me why you gotta be so hard on yourself now?

[Verse 3]
Cause you've been holding back for brighter days
Some might call it
Holding backs your weakness it's your so called mistake
And all you ever needed was a sudden change, you're caught between it
And all the other versions of it are all the same

[Chorus]
And you try to escape it on your own
Tell me why you gotta be so hard on yourself now?
When its killing you all along
When you hope but your hope is gone
Tell me why you gotta be so hard on yourself now?
