[Verse 1]
My decision can not be put off again
I see the right choice but my heart is filled with dread

[Pre-Chorus]
It all seems backwards in my head, my head

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

[Verse 1]
Choose a little pain and gain a life with joy
Accepting pleasure now will earn a life of pain

[Pre-Chorus]
It all seems backwards in my head, my head

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

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