Bernard Snyder - 'Sometimes'

Sometimes when you've done all you can do
and you realize the one you love isn't in love with you,
instead of foolishly hanging on,
it's best to pack your bags and move along,
the thought of changing may seem unnerving
but there's someone else out there more deserving,
at first you might feel a bit disappointed
because you couldn't have who you really wanted,
but sometimes you have to try a different scene
get away from the same routine,
'father time' will heal your wounds
the next person will play the right tunes',
you just have to persevere through the pain
in time', your attitude will start to change,
your life will seem to flow a lot smoother
you'll no longer give a dam' about that other loser,
your smile will have a brighter gleam
you'll feel a higher level of self-esteem,
you're now feeling good once again
you're happier than you've ever been,
see sometimes, just because you fell
doesn't mean your world will be a living hell
it's because you've traveled a troubled path
you can now appreciate what you have.
