Text: Keyshia Cole. Sometimes.

Is funny how you may never know the true effect,
You may have somebody else watching your life.
In your eyes they may see dreams
Hopes and aspirations that might help the ones
Who carried and fight their fight.
In the night they lay and think about
Maybe one day making it out,
Cause... they have you to follow through!

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I just wanna stay beside myself!
Sometimes I just wanna go way from myself!

When you know, you know a time is hard,
But you try it and try it best to keep up,
And no one can understand you're struggling hard.
In a way is a test,..
Your faith could carry on anyway, baby!
And you know... to think about,
Maybe one day making it out,
Cause... to see them through!

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish that I could stay beside myself!
Sometimes I wish that I could go away for myself!

As long as you hold on,
As long as you hold on to your dreams,
They can come true!
Trust me I know!
No matter what, you can depend on me!
I'll be right here until the death of me,
No one could ever take me away!
Trust and believe!
I wanna feel what you're feeling!
And that's why:

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I just wanna stay beside myself!
Sometimes I just wanna go way from myself!
Sometimes!
