I want to be bad, and then I don't

I want to be good, and then I won't

I cry when I'm bad and scream when I'm good

It would be nice to figure myself out, if I only could

I try to be bad, but then I realize my sin

I try to be good, but I cave all over again

I get sick when I'm bad and am alone when I'm good

It would be nice to pick a side, if I only would

When I am bad I feel so sick inside

Wondering about all the people who trust me to whom I lied

When I am bad I feel so paranoid

Worrying and contemplating about getting caught, not feeling over-joyed

When I am good I feel so alone inside

Wondering why I choose the rules over friends to abide

When I am good I feel so lame

Thinking that no one else follows the rules of the game

I want to be bad, but then I'm good  

Thinking of how deep to the core I'm misunderstood  

I want to be good, but then I'm bad

Why did I cave to the pressure again, sometimes I get so mad

And mad I am and sad I am, and confused I am again

The uncontrollable swirling emotions in my head begin

I want to be good, I want to be bad, sometimes my head feels like lead

But most of all, what I want is to be dead
