Sometimes

Sometimes it hurts to want something so bad
It almost makes you wonder if it’s worth wanting at all
Sometimes it hurts to dream and to wish upon a star
The fear that one day you’ll awaken to a cold splash of reality

Sometimes you think it’s almost better never to love
Then your heart won’t be crushed when it’s not returned
Sometimes it’s better to miss the wave of high tide
Then there’s no fear of crashing into the dunes

Sometimes it’s better never to smile and say hello
Waving goodbyes for good are almost unbearable
Sometimes it hurts to think of someone often
When you only cross their mind once in a blue moon

Sometimes it’s hard to capture in words
What your heart doesn’t even realize it feels
Sometimes it’s easier to let go and move on
Instead of trying to cling onto something that’s become numb

Sometimes you wonder if what you believe in is worth dying for
When so many in the past have already given up their life for it
Sometimes it’s better to give up and quit while you’re ahead
Than to keep chasing after something you can never catch

But sometimes is only sometimes
And sometimes we just get lucky
