Sometimes I cradle myself, but I can feel myself lurching and stumbling towards a new decade. Sometimes, I tell myself not to join them, but I can see myself falling victim to their charades Sometimes, I hurt myself, but I always end up healing Sometimes, I hide myself, but I always end up needing Sometimes, I lie to myself, but I always end up apologizing Sometimes, I fall in love, but I always end up realizing That the one I deeply love has always been lying And then I'm the one who always ends up crying Sometimes, I stand still and shut my mouth, but yet here I am still trying Sometimes, I starve myself, but I can always feel myself rotting and dying Sometimes, I can see children playing alone in parks And worrying their mothers by staying out at dark Sometimes, I call out to the distant and faint figures But in the end, I'm always shouting to a mirror Sometimes, I can feel myself drifting away Sometimes, I have nothing better to say Sometimes, I think it's better that way Sometimes, I think it'd be better if I went away
