Extreme - Am I Ever Gonna Change Lyrics

I'm tired of being me, and I don't like what I see
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day, down on my knees I will pray
For a change in any way
But as the day goes by, I live through another lie
If it's any wonder why

Am I ever gonna change?
If I say one thing, then I do the other
It's the same old song, that goes on forever

Am I ever gonna change? Will I always stay the same?
If I say one thing, then I do the other
It's the same old song, that goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change? I'm the only one to blame
When I think I'm right, I wind up wrong
It's a futile fight, gone on too long

Please tell me if it's true, am I too old to start anew?
'Cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again, when I think I can
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try, will it matter when I die
Can anyone hear my cry?

Am I ever gonna change? Will I always stay the same?
If I say one thing, then I do the other
It's the same old song, that goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change? I'm the only one to blame
When I think I'm right, I wind up wrong
It's a futile fight, gone on too long

Am I ever gonna change? Will I always stay the same?
If I say one thing, then I do the other
It's the same old song, that goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change? I'm the only one to blame
I think I'm right, I wind up wrong
It's a futile fight, gone on too long

Am I ever gonna change? I take it day by day
My will is weak and my flesh too strong
This peace I seek till thy kingdom comes
