[Verse 1]
I suffer from a bad affliction
Seems my life's a contradiction
Two lives war inside of me
And though I want the spirit to win
Seems the strong man gets his way

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't do what I know is true
I do what I don't wanna do
But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

[Verse 2]
I start my life the same each day
Praying for a better way
Made up in my mind I'm gonna
Carry out the good that I desire
But it seldom works out right

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't do what I know is true
I do what I don't wanna do
But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

[Chorus]
I know that life is choices
Chances all day long
Seems my right just always turns out wrong
[Verse 3]
Some are deeds of ignorance
Sometimes disobedience
But does it make much difference
When it's all rebellion in my heart
Can I ever make it right

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't do what I know is true
I do what I don't wanna do
But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

[Chorus]
I know that life is choices
Chances all day long
Seems my right just always turns out wrong

[Bridge]
Who can rescue me from all that I've become
Thanks to Heaven, it's already done

[Verse 4]
I don't have to be the way I've been
A victim to this fix I'm in
I know that I could really change
And stop running in these circles all my life
Will I ever make it right
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't do what I know is true
I do what I don't wanna do
But I do it, oh, yes, I do it

[Outro]
I don't do what I know is true
I do what I don't wanna do
But I do it, oh, yes, I do it
I do it
