Sometimes.
Michael Jagmin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh god, I haven't been this torn since the day you caught my eye
Since day one you thought that I couldn't change
Just like I told you I will not live this way
In the shadow that's far since gone
Lying to right what's wrong
You swear sometimes that you were better off
And then sometimes you change your role to you are one of the lucky ones
The center of so much more
You swear sometimes
Sometimes I feel that I might be better off dead
You found me
I am so tired, alone
You see me for things I have never known
I will find a better plan for you and I
And here's my reason whyā¦.
I'm waiting to exhale it's getting hard to beā¦
Everything you wished but hoped you'd never need
I will search for that passion deep in your eyes
I will not leave unless you're by my side
You swear sometimes that you were better off
And then sometimes you change your role to you are one of the lucky ones
Posed and froze at the door
The center of so much more
You swear sometimes that you were better but you change your mind
A simple gesture of the darkest kind from the darkest mind
Believing there's something more
You swear sometimes
You found me
I am so tired alone
You swear sometimes
You see me for things I have never known
You swear sometimes
I will find a better plan for you and I
I will not leave without you by my side

Yes, finally I've seen this hell that you have born
After experiencing your struggles myself, I understand the pain you've been through
Oh god, I haven't been this torn since the day you caught my eye
I'm completely torn apart inside like I was when I first saw you
Since day one you thought that I couldn't change
You always believed that I was incapable of changing for the better from the start
Just like I told you I will not live this way
I refuse to continue living my life in the way that led to this moment
In the shadow that's far since gone
The shadow of the past is now long gone and no longer affecting us
Lying to right what's wrong
I'll lie to make things right even though it's not the truth
You swear sometimes that you were better off
At times, you believe that you would be better off without me
And then sometimes you change your role to you are one of the lucky ones
Other times, you change your perspective and feel fortunate to have me in your life
Posed and froze at the door
You're reluctant to make a decision and remain in one place
The center of so much more
You're at the center of attention with significant responsibilities
Sometimes I feel that I might be better off dead
I sometimes contemplate suicide as a solution to my problems
You found me
You discovered me and brought me out of my shell
I am so tired, alone
I'm exhausted both mentally and physically and feel very lonely
You see me for things I have never known
You understand things about me that I have yet to realize or accept
I will find a better plan for you and I
I'll come up with a more effective strategy to improve our lives together
And here's my reason whyā¦.
This is the explanation behind my actions and decisions
I'm waiting to exhale it's getting hard to beā¦
I'm waiting for a moment of relief, but it's becoming more difficult to handle
Everything you wished but hoped you'd never need
I'm everything you've desired but never wanted to rely on
I will search for that passion deep in your eyes
I'll look for the passion and love that you have hidden inside
I will not leave unless you're by my side
I'm committed to staying by your side and won't leave without you
You swear sometimes that you were better but you change your mind
You sometimes believe it would be better without me, but then change your perspective
A simple gesture of the darkest kind from the darkest mind
A seemingly small action from the darkest, most negative thoughts
Believing there's something more
Holding onto the belief that there's more to life and our situation
You swear sometimes
You sometimes make promises you can't keep or change your mind
You found me
You discovered and saved me from a dark place
I am so tired alone
I'm exhausted and feel completely isolated and alone
You swear sometimes
You make promises or change your mind at times
You see me for things I have never known
You understand and know things about me that I've never recognized before
You swear sometimes
You make promises or change your mind at times
I will find a better plan for you and I
I'll come up with a more effective plan to improve our lives together
I will not leave without you by my side
I'm committed to staying with you and won't leave without you

Don't care what anyone says, his voice is fantastic. Not easy to sing so clearly in the ranges he does. Some people hear "whiny", but he's definitely singing from his diaphragm, not through his nose - voice is crystal clear. Talented guy.
@wingnutmcspazatron3957
By "Whiney", people mean that he sounds like a thirteen-yr-old girl singing about her crush that won't give her the time of day. It doesn't have to do with his talent, it's what he DOES with said talent that makes some people want to rip their own ears off.
@joshuahalt9840
There is 10000000000% undeniable nasality in his voice live, but it all depends on microphone really, some mics pick his voice up really well, while some make his voice sound like it has "whiney-ness" in it.
He's ultimately using nasality and vowel modifications in the highest notes, that doesn't mean he doesn't sound fantastic, because he does, he pulls it off INSANELY well.
@orchidmalevolence9726
