Sometimes (dr. Hirsch) Lyrics

You're leaving
You're leaving me now
I'm wishing
I wish this would hurt
But I suffer
I can't feel the pain

Sometimes, sometimes
I wish I could cry

I heard it
I heard about love
I gave you
The feelings I could
You left me
I know you were right

Sometimes
I wish I could cry
Sometimes
I wish I could cry
Sometimes, sometimes
I wish I could cry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A picture inside a picture inside a picture of sorrows. Deeper yet still than those sorrows one simply can't express. The protagonist of the story of this song has the saddest sadness, the unreleasable melancholy of sadness you know is there, but somehow can't even quite feel. I believe the character within this song represents an inside looking out view of Schizoid Personality Disorder. What heartbreak is greater than a heart that is broken....in the sense that it doesn't even work?
