Sometimes I Feel Like

 

Sometimes, I feel like he don’t hear me, 

Sometimes, I wonder does he love me. 

Life is so hard for me,

This ain’t the way it’s supposed to be

I pray every night asking for forgiveness

Sometimes I ask myself is it all worth it

Life is so pain Painful, Yet I’m so thank Thankful.

Sometimes, I feel like he don’t hear me. 

Sometimes, I wonder does he love me. 

Life is so hard for me, 

This ain’t the way it’s supposed to be

Life won’t be easy, And I know that!

My past is over, Wish I could go back.

Maybe I’ll change change it, rearrange range it.

Sometimes in life we all feel like we’re falling.

Those who suffer in life will be rewarded. 

Lord I hear you! But it’s so hard being strong.

I keep on reminiscing on loved ones that’s gone.

He says son you should know you’re born to die, 

I said I do it’s just hard saying bye. That’s why

In life you don’t hear me.

[OC]
