Sometimes Lyrics (English Translation) – Tiago PZK, Teddy Swims

Sometimes (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The repetition of “Sometimes” suggests an emotional reflection or feeling of uncertainty.

[Verse 1]
Tiago PZK talks about keeping letters from a past relationship, but he can’t face them yet. He expresses how hard it is to deal with the emotional pain and how his voice doesn’t feel like it can express his feelings. He needs time to heal and wants to end the relationship without any anger or bitterness. He compares the relationship to a childish game with hearts, where emotions weren’t handled with care or logic.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Tiago and Teddy Swims express the emotional scars left by the relationship. They feel the pain of learning things the hard way, but also recognize that the other person’s healing journey isn’t theirs to carry. Despite their struggles, they still sometimes think about the past—about the physical attraction, the relationship, and the emotional weight that still haunts them, even though they are trying to move on.

[Verse 2]
Teddy Swims describes the lasting marks the relationship left on him—like lipstick stains hidden in an envelope, symbolizing the lingering memories. He remembers the past that hasn’t changed, like a note by the bedside. He felt caught between two sides, as if the other person was playing games with him, switching between being defensive and throwing emotional fits, making things even more complicated.

[“me just flying?”]
Teddy reflects on how manipulative behavior in the relationship made him feel confused and mentally exhausted. He imagined a future with the person—living in a house with kids—but then realized how deeply he had become attached. He can’t believe he took the person out and gave them special moments, even though they would turn on him by calling him bad and bringing up old issues, leaving him questioning how he became so emotionally involved.

[Chorus]
This repetition of the chorus echoes their struggle to move on, even though they’ve learned valuable lessons through the pain. They continue to think about the person they loved, feeling conflicted. Though they try to move forward, they are sometimes stuck in the memories and emotions, still dealing with internal pain and the feeling of being lost in time, unsure of where to go from here.

[Outro]
The outro simply repeats “Sometimes,” highlighting the emotional ups and downs, leaving the listener with a sense of lingering uncertainty and the continuing emotional struggle the singers face in moving forward.
