The only thing to do is the right thing to do

I'm hearing voices, coming from the left, coming from the right
the right is screaming at me to do something different, something right
and the left wants to take my hand and show me a different place
I've been there before, I've done the wrong thing, and with you, with you
I want to do the right thing, it feels like the only thing to do

I'm hearing voices, coming from my head, coming from my heart
they both say something different, I get confused from the start
where am I supposed to go, what am I supposed to do with you
all I want is to be close to you, but these voices are scaring me from you
but I want to do the right thing, it feels like the only thing to do

When I want to run, I'm not gonna call you, not gonna talk to you
I'm gonna test you and see if you're gonna miss me and find a way
to get through to me
the test will show me what I am scared to ask myself, but I will find out either way
which way I'm gonna go with you, what the voices are gonna push me to do

I don't like to see any pain in the world, it hurts me and keeps me away
from doing the right thing some of the time
with you I don't want to make you sad, I always want to take care of you
but I fear you don't always trust that these intentions of mine are true
what can I say to get through to you, if only you could hear my voices inside
telling me I want to do the right thing with you, it's the only thing to do
the only thing to do is the right thing to do
             even when I'm sad and not feeling like I want to talk to you
             even if I'm selfish and feeling like I want to get away from you
             even when I'm mean and wanting to scream at you
             deep down I want to do the right thing, it's the only thing to do
             the only thing to do is the right thing to do

Voices in my head, voices going round and round
wrong and right, dark and light
I know what to follow and what to toss into the night
the only thing to do it the right thing to do
the only thing to do is the right thing to do.
