Well, I've been fighting myself, beaten up again,
Try to toughen up my body so it won't give in,
But this wrestling match, it seems to never end between my conscience and my flesh, but my flesh always wins 'cause....
It's so hard to be sunny when your moon is high,
It's so hard to act smile when you're feeling cry,
It's impossible to feel while you're frozen cold,
It's so hard to force good when bad comes natural.
Just about the time I get the beast to quell, then here comes along temptation and I'm jumping bail,
Well, I've got a heart of gold that's captive to stubborn will,
I try to get my will to give, but it's like bending steel because...
It's so hard to be sunny when your moon is high,
It's so hard to act smile when you're feeling cry,
It's impossible to feel while you're frozen cold,
It's so hard to force good when bad comes natural.
Numb and bloodied up, I'm finally at my end,
Kept on digging my own grave until it caved right in,
Maybe that's the answer I've been looking for,
Guess my flesh has got to die so I can live, 'cause....
It's so hard to be sunny when your moon is high,
It's so hard to act smile when you're feeling cry,
It's impossible to feel while you're frozen cold,
It's so hard to force good when bad comes natural.
When bad comes natural,
When bad comes natural,
When bad comes natural,
It's so hard to be good when bad comes natural.
