Sometimes we smile when we are broken
Sometimes we sigh when there’s no words
Sometimes we pretend cuz there’s no time to
Explain how bad it hurts
Sometimes we just keep on going
Because we know we stop then we’ll just die
And we may ask but there’s no knowing
Until the moment’s eye to eye
So please don’t ask me for answers
When the question still hangs right in the air
And I didn’t see this coming
But it doesn’t mean that I don’t care
Sometimes I don’t know how to
Deal with a punch in the gut from life
And just because I didn’t confide to you
Doesn’t mean I didn’t try
Sometimes I just collect my thoughts at rest
Sometimes I’m exhausted from the tears
Sometimes the pinching in my chest
Reminds me I’m still here
Sometimes I don’t know where to go
I just pick a direction and move
And there will always be answers that I don’t know
But there’s nothing left to prove
Sometimes I let people down
Sometimes I’ll get lost in the night
So for now I’ll reflect on all I’ve found
Take a breath to set it right
I’ll move from here when I find my feet
Grateful for the chance
And all the love and memories
I’ve gained in life’s dance
Sometimes I don’t know what to say
Sometimes I just crave a hush
Sometimes life will paint our pain
With violent strokes of the brush
So I take a breath to process now
And look at where I’ve been
And stand slowly to keep my knees steady
Till I fall down again
