[Intro]
Sometimes it don't go your way, sometimes you gotta
Sometimes
Sometimes it don't go your way, sometimes, sometimes
You gotta, uh, yeah
[Verse 1]
I had a plan, I had it mapped out
I knew where I was going when I left out
Oh, you couldn't tell me that I wouldn't be there on time
I had some guarantees, I had a deadline
But now I know things change for better or worse
You could say that I'm the same, but I ain't adjusted to all the hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
So many nos, so many yeses
No one to blame, don't got the answers (Yeah)
I felt the pain, I can attest it
That's just the game and I respect it, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes shit don't go your way, sometimes
And sometimes you gon' have those days, yeah
And sometimes you'll feel out of place
You can't promise me it'll be the same
'Cause sometimes change (Yeah, yeah)
Sometimes, sometimes change (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I had a date, I had a vision
This was the day I was supposed to be living
Instead of worrying 'bout the temporary things, yeah
I hate not knowing where it's gonna take me
[Pre-Chorus]
So many nos, so many yeses
Oh, I was sure, but now I'm guessing
Feel like my faith keep getting tested
I need a sign, I need a message, 'cause sometimes
[Chorus]
Sometimes shit don't go your way, sometimes (Sometimes)
And sometimes you gon' have those days, yeah (Yeah)
And sometimes you'll feel out of place
You can't promise me it'll be the same
'Cause sometimes change
[Bridge]
Sometimes, sometimes change
Sometimes change
Sometimes
Sometimes, yeah, always change
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes shit don't go your way, sometimes (It don't go your way)
And sometimes you gon' have those days (Have those days)
And sometimes you'll feel out of place (Out of place, yeah)
Can't promise me it'll be the same (Oh, that it always gon' be the same)
'Cause sometimes change
[Outro]
Sometimes, sometimes change (Sometimes change)
Yeah, sometimes change
