Sometimes Lyrics by Ilyas Mao

Tug of War: Official Soundtrack

2015

Verse 1:
I see you breaking, aching, you still in the making?
Are you still searching, trying to piece yourself together?
They keep telling you, "be quiet, no room for the ruckus"
But you keep forgetting and it's all on you

Chorus:
Sometimes you gotta die before you come back to life
Sometimes you gotta sink deep before you could rise above
Sometimes you gotta speak and leave no room for doubt
Sometimes you gotta be your own saviour
Just trust me x3

Verse 2:
Sometimes, I know you know that we do those things we ought not to do
I see you walking through
I see the world, in the eyes of the others x2

Chorus:
Sometimes you gotta die before you come back to life
Sometimes you gotta sink deep before you could rise above
Sometimes you gotta speak and leave no room for doubt
Sometimes you gotta be your own saviour
Just trust me x3
