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.
