Sometimes

Natalie Imbruglia

Isn't it like me 
to want to say 
things I can't explain ... 
in simple ways? 

Why should I be sane? 
Why can't I be crazy? 

Sometimes I'm up, 
sometimes I'm down, 
I choke on words, 
and make no sound. 
Sometimes 

Sometimes I'm weak 
sometimes I'm strong 
living with the fear I don't belong 
Sometimes 

Why is it so hard 
to know myself? 
Underneath this skin you'll find 
someone else. 

Don't be so surprised 
when you look inside me 
inside me 

Sometimes It's black 
sometimes It's white 
you hide behind electric light 
Sometimes 

Sometimes I swear 
sometimes I pray 
suddenly the guilty disobey 
Sometimes 

Sometimes I'm weak 
sometimes I'm strong 
living with the fear I don't belong 
Sometimes 

Sometimes I stand 
sometimes I fall 
I throw myself against the wall 
Sometimes 

Sometimes I sink 
sometimes I swim 
tell me why my world is caving in 
Sometimes 

Sometimes it's sweet 
sometimes it's raw 
trying to get so high like I did before 
Sometimes 

Sometimes in love 
sometimes in hate 
sometimes it's all a big mistake 
Sometimes
