Sometimes

Nathaniel Allen

I wrote the song that I said I’d never

Thinking it better

Than what you could have given me

Now she’s long gone and i’ve carried on

But the same old song

Is all I’m ever singing

Sometimes

I don’t want to be alright

I just want you to let me fall

Cause sometimes

There is nothing in this life

That makes me feel at all

I don’t worry that I’ll be clothed

Or have a home

But I worry that I’ll die alone

There’s something there I can’t connect

Between who you’ve been

And what I think I should expect

Sometimes

I don’t want to be alright

I just want you to let me fall

Cause sometimes

There is nothing in this life

That makes me feel at all

So many people say I shouldn’t feel like this

Like to feel regret or pain is somehow wrong

And often I allow myself to think you feel the same

Cause you never seem to let me wallow in my sorrow and my pain

And, God there’s times I wish you would ‘cause I’m tired of feeling fine

When I’d rather put my music on and let my spirit die

So won’t you leave me, Prince of Peace I don’t want you right now

I’m tired of believing there’s goodness coming down

Sometimes

I don’t want to be alright

I just want you to let me fall

Cause sometimes

There is nothing in this life

That makes me feel at all
