Sometimes Lyrics - Good Riddance

When it's time to start working to reconstruct 

a life programmed to self-destruct 

when it's time to set your sights on something better 

when all that you've known 

is the emptiness of being alone 

when friends start drifting away 

sometimes 

it's better to let go 

it only hurts to hold on to time worn memories 

sometimes 

it's never what is seems 

it only serves to break your will 

I had a dream last night 

that you and I got in a fight 

I never meant to hurt you 

but I guess it ended up that way 

we went our seperate ways 

and I stayed mad for six whole days 

that's when I realized when I'm alone 

I'm in bad company 

I want to help you 

but you've got to want to help yourself 

I don't want to bury another friend 

I take it day by day and watch the people I love just fade away 

where's the good in this? 

whatever happened to you?
