[V1]
Sometimes when I lie
I know you're on to me
Sometimes I don't mind
How hateful that I can be
Sometimes I don't try
To make you happy
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but...
[Chorus]
Sometimes I don't wanna be better
Sometimes I can't be put back together
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
[V2]
Sometimes don't deny
That everything is wrong
Sometimes rather die
Than to admit it's my fault
Sometimes when you cry
I just don't care at all
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but...
[Bridge]
I want someone to hurt
Like the way I hurt
It's sick but it makes me feel better
[V3]
Sometimes I can't hide
The demons that I face
Sometimes don't deny
I'm sometimes sinner sometimes saint
Sometimes when I lie
I know you're on to me
Sometimes I don't mind
How hateful that I can be
To make you happy
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but...
Sometimes I don't wanna be better
Sometimes I can't be put back together
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
Sometimes don't deny
That everything is wrong
Sometimes rather die
Than to admit it's my fault
I just don't care at all
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but...
I want someone to hurt
Like the way I hurt
It's sick but it makes me feel better
Sometimes I can't hide
The demons that I face
Sometimes don't deny
I'm sometimes sinner sometimes saint

i agree with this song a lot. sometimes i dont wanna be better...
I love Skillet.... I don't know if he meant to do it but he basically spoke the words of an addict or more appropriate a fallible human... We often feel like Paul when he said, “I don’t understand why I act the way I do. I don’t do what I know is right. I do the things I hate. Although I don’t do what I know is right, I agree that the law is good.” (Romans 7:15, 16)

Anyone with depression, this is perfect. I personally don't understand how someone else could hurt this much. This song describes everything about depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts just perfectly.
and i agree with musicaddict...its so true, for some reason when you are hurting you dont want it to get better. i like to hurt sometimes, i do it on purpose...
and i do alot of bad things that i dont want to stop doing, no matter how much i know i should quit...
this song really speaks to me, sometimes i stop caring about God wants and start doing what i want. which is really stupid, i don't really know why i do that.
i'm with you. so many people have told me "god wants you to do this" or "you should go to church". just let me live my life.

This couldnt be more honest.... sometime we just dont want to be better! We find it hard to stick to what we believe and do what we know its right... skillet its actually not an exclusive christian band but their songs speak about the struggle to be a christian and not feeling like a saint sometimes... "IM SOMETIMES A SINNER AND SOMETIMES A SAINT" we all know we aint perfect, we all have our good days and bad weeks hahaha to be saint doesnt mean we are going to be perfect, it means we are able to change from bad to good.. lets keep it honest and sincere to God and he will help us in our struggle
Love this song. Kind of reminds me how I went through a suicide reaction and sometimes I keep trying to hide my true feeling about how I felt with life. Sometimes I would lie about my true feelings. I don't care how I hurt others or how much I say I hate them. There are times I don't try to make others happy because I am very disagreeable what they say. Even I don't know why I do these things. If people ask why do you sometimes do these things? I keep saying "I don't know". There are times I hate people trying to make me better. There are times I don't wanna feel better. I really do find it hard to believe someone has the same problems as me. There are times when something is truly wrong with me, I will deny it and say "I'm fine." I don't care if it's my fault for what I've done to myself was wrong. When my mother cries about how I act towards her, I never cared.
I think this song is about the struggle of someone who's been told to be good all the time, and perhaps by association they're expected to be the image of purity. but sometimes,they just don't want to be. they want to live their own way even if their conscience says not to
I think this is saying Christians aren't perfect, they get mad a whole lot and they regret what they said just as much as anybody else
