Sometimes I Don't
Josh Arce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I miss you girl sometimes I don't 
My other bitch from the way she do things that I know you wont
And you keep hitting me like what the fuck do you want
You don't gotta know just know that I'm getting to the paper
And I got a little famous so these bitches getting naked
Sometimes I miss you girl sometimes I don't 
I know sometimes you get lonely
Cuz you fell for someone that ain't your type
You were always more than a friend to me
But now you're stealing my energy
Sometimes I miss you girl sometimes I don't 
My other bitch from the way she do things that I know you wont
And you keep hitting me like what the fuck do you want
You don't gotta know just know that I'm getting to the paper
And I got a little famous so these bitches getting naked
Sometimes I miss you girl sometimes I don't 
Disconnected never texting second guessing every girl I'm with
I just think its funny how you're on my mind but you're not my bitch
Cuz I never trusted you
But I cant fuck with you
Even though I fuck with you
Couldn't ever get through to you 
And I'm okay with that
I'm okay with that I'm cool with it
Talking shit but you had nothing to do with it
And if I hit it once I'm through with it
But when it comes to you I'm losing it
I still beat myself up
Thinking about the way I let it fall apart
Guess its all my fault 
Sometimes I miss you girl sometimes I don't 
My other bitch from the way she do things that I know you wont
And you keep hitting me like what the fuck do you want
You don't gotta know just know that I'm getting to the paper
And I got a little famous so these bitches getting naked
Sometimes I miss you girl sometimes I don't 
You know it
Ya ya
You know it
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Oh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

In "Sometimes I Don't," Josh Arce conveys a complex emotional landscape toward a romantic relationship marked by uncertainty and ambivalence. The opening lines establish a dichotomy—the singer oscillates between missing the girl and not missing her, suggesting a struggle with lingering feelings amidst moving on. This emotional tension is deepened by introducing another romantic interest who fulfills needs and desires that the singer feels the original partner could not. The phrase "my other bitch" reflects a casual attitude towards relationships, implying a focus on physical connections rather than emotional depth. Additionally, the repeated questioning from the girl indicates a sense of desperation or confusion regarding their relationship status, which further amplifies the emotional disarray of the singer.


As the song unfolds, feelings of loneliness, trust issues, and the complicated dynamic of their relationship come to the forefront. The singer acknowledges that the girl has feelings for someone outside of their connection, which adds another layer of complexity to the relationship. He recognizes the emotional toll this has taken on both of them, indicating a level of empathy and understanding that contrasts with the harsh exterior he presents. There’s an acknowledgement of the idea that she was more than just a friend, which hints at a deeper emotional bond that once existed but is now fraught with misunderstandings and disappointment. The repetition of "sometimes I miss you girl sometimes I don’t" acts like a refrain, emphasizing the conflict he feels, torn between affection and the need to move on.


The narrative progresses to reveal the singer's struggles with trust and commitment, underscoring a pattern of emotional withdrawal and conflict. The phrase "I never trusted you" signals a breach in the relationship that has left a lasting impact, even as the singer tries to assert his independence by declaring himself "okay with that." Despite this facade of confidence, there lies an undercurrent of regret and vulnerability as he admits to beating himself up over the relationship's fallout. This contradiction showcases the messy reality of modern relationships, where attraction and disappointment intertwine, leading to a cycle of moving forward while still being preoccupied with the past.


Ultimately, the recurring motif of fame and its accompanying superficial relationships serves as a commentary on the singer's current lifestyle. While he revels in the attention and the carefree interactions that come with newfound fame, there remains an acknowledgment of emotional detachment. The line about "getting to the paper" signifies a primary focus on material success, perhaps indicating a coping mechanism to distract from deeper feelings of loss and longing. The juxtaposition of self-assuredness in his material pursuits against the emotional struggles reflects a common dilemma faced in contemporary relationships, showcasing how success doesn't necessarily equate to personal fulfillment or emotional stability. Thus, the song captures the intricacies of love, loneliness, and the often tumultuous journey of self-discovery that accompanies growing apart.
