Sometimes

Sometimes I want to talk, but then I feel like shutting up
Then I feel stupid when i do
Sometimes I want to watch TV, but I don't want to look at the screen
Then there's nothing else to do
Sometimes I want to be mean, but then I feel so guilty
Why can't I just be nice?
So many things, so many things that make me this way
So many things, so many things getting in my way

Chorus
Sometimes I want to scream, cuz I don't know what love means
And I don't know what to do
Then sometimes i want to run, but I'm afraid to hit the sun
Then I can't move at all
I need someone to talk to, I need someone to talk to

Sometimes I want to be with friends, but I don't feel like talking to them at all
Sometimes I want wings, so the wind can just carry me away
But, i'm too afraid to fall
I wish I had the bravery most people see when they look at me

Repeat Chorus

Why's it always so hard just to follow my heart?
I thought it'd be easy
Wish I could repair what I broke here and there
trouble everywhere

Repeat Chorus Twice

I wish I had the bravery most people see when they look at me
