Sometimes I Wish
Bethany Lyrics

The song, Sometimes I Wish by Bethany, talks about a relationship that has ended and how the singer wishes they never met their former partner. The opening line, "Only you took me there / To the place where I live still," suggests that the singer and their partner shared a deep emotional connection, and that special place still exists within the singer. However, the next line, "No one else could see me whole / But this thing you've built with care has been sold," suggests that the partner did not see the singer for who they truly are and has now sold or given away something that was important to the singer.

The singer then reflects on the effect the relationship had on them, saying "Me for you / I was well / Now I'm weak but I need to break this spell." This implies that the singer was in a good place before the relationship but has now been left weakened or damaged. They recognize that they need to move on from the relationship, but time seems to be working against them, "Time is not on my side / It stands still, it lingers, it just hides." Ultimately, they feel completely defeated and at their lowest point, "Oh, I'm dying and I'm done / Nothing here / I am done."

The chorus, "Sometimes I wish I never met you," is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the profound regret the singer feels about the relationship. The outro, "Out of my heart still / Out of my mind still / I wanna have some peace," expresses the singer's desire to move on, to let go of the thoughts and feelings that are still plaguing them, and find some peace.
