Sometimes When
Sometimes when the lights go out
And the stars are falling down
I try to run and jump and catch
Just only one for me
Sometimes life gives you a push
And you try to shove back
Sometimes it pushes you so hard
That you fall straight on your back
Sometimes when the sun goes down
Just for a second you calm down
Then the silence secret stress
Comes to destroy again
Sometimes your not crazy
But crazy’s all you see
Sometimes when the voice inside
Your head begins to scream
Sometimes when your heart is broken
And you feel you can’t go on
Losing something is the hardest
Thing I’ve ever done
Sometimes when you’re angry
And destructions all I see
I just remember anger
Takes the years from me
Sometimes when the bills are low
And the debts are high
Time will take its longest leap of faith until you cry
Sometimes when you’re angry, sweaty, and upset
I pray someone will let me lay my head upon there chest.
Sometimes in the morning
When I can barely see
You place a kiss upon my lips
And take the breath from me
Sometimes life don’t matter
Sometimes you can’t sleep
Sometimes I’m crazy about a man
Who will never marry me?
Sometimes life don’t matter
And revenge is just too sweet
I wish someone would take
My hand and carry me
Like the footprints in the sand
I wish someone would take
My hand and carry me
