The Voice
There’s a voice inside my head
That’s always telling me what to do
And this is the voice that has said
I can’t be with you
No matter how hard I try
It won’t let me forget
And I really don’t know why
I am so upset
I should be happy
I should be glad
I should be anything in the world
But sad
Why is my heart aching?
Why is my heart breaking?
When I know my conscience is right
The voice speaks to me all day long
Saying “I know this is right for me
I know this is wrong.”
I can’t figure out why I try to rebel
Because being away from you is like being in hell
No matter how hard I try
I know I’ll never forget
And I always wonder why
I’m still feeling so upset
I should be happy
I should be glad
I should be anything in the world
But sad
Why is my heart aching?
Why is my heart breaking?
When I think my conscience is right
No teacher, preacher,
Parent, or friend
Or wise man can decide
What is right for me
I just have to listen to
The voice that is inside
But what if that voice is wrong?
Can I still stay strong?
Would I put up a fight?
If I knew the voice wasn’t right?
If I knew it wasn’t right?
I’m staring at you from across the room
And the voice says “Look away”
But I keep my eyes locked right on you
Waiting for you to notice me
Maybe it’s not about how hard I try
Maybe I’ll never forget
Maybe I should stop wondering why
But I can’t help but to feel upset . . .
I should be happy
I should be glad
I should be anything in the world
But sad
Why is my heart aching?
Why is my heart breaking?
When I think my conscience is right
No teacher, preacher,
Parent, or friend
Or wise man can decide
What is right for me
I just have to listen to
The voice that is inside
The voice that is inside
Here in my mind
That’s always telling me what to do
And this is the voice that has said
I can’t be with you
No matter how hard I try
It won’t let me forget
And I really don’t know why
I am so upset
I should be happy
I should be glad
I should be anything in the world
But sad
Why is my heart aching?
Why is my heart breaking?

I know this is wrong.”
