Sometimes

 

 

I cried the day my dad died

 Rivers of tears fell from ocean eyes

 My sister clung to my mum while I clung to no one

 Left alone to cry in the rain

 I sat on the wet grass and collapsed in my pain

 I have been lonely since that time

 the only thing to cling to is my scribbled rhyme

 

 

 

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep

 Sometimes my ocean eyes will weep

 Sometimes his face can’t leave my head

 Sometimes I wish I were dead

 

 

Can’t get close to anyone

 Find it hard to socialize or have fun

 Watching the girl I like with my pained eyes

 Watching men flirt with her and whisper poisoned lies

 But like a light from deep in my dark

 Something fixed my shattered heart

 

 

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep

 Sometimes my ocean eyes will weep

 Sometimes her face won’t leave my head

 Sometimes I wish I were dead

 

 

 

The light made me think life goes on

 Nothing can hurt me nothing can go wrong

 Was the light the ghost of my dad?

 Whatever it was fixed the pain I once had

 So I sit on the warm summer grass

 thinking about my tormented past

 Then I start to write this song

 Knowing my life will go on

 

 

Sometimes I’m glad I am alive

 Sometimes I know I will survive

 Sometimes I forget what’s gone wrong

 Sometimes my life will go on.
