My decision can not be put off again,
I see the right choice,
But my heart is filled with dread
It all seems backwards in my head, my head

I know it seems too wrong to be right
This way is so much harder than fight
But in the end I know it's true
This way is better, it's better for you

Choose a little pain and gain a life with joy
Accepting pleasure now
Will earn a life of pain
It all seems backwards in my head, my head

I know it seems too wrong to be right
This way is so much harder than fight
But in the end I know it's true
This way is better, it's better for you

Sometimes I wonder why it's this way
When it's done the burden is gone
This discomfort will be taken away
As soon as it's over, it's over for me

I know it seems too wrong to be right
This way is so much harder than fight
But in the end I know it's true
This way is better, it's better for you
