The song "Someone's Sometimes" by Jamie O'Neal is about a relationship that is constantly on and off. The lyrics describe how the protagonist is always being strung along by their partner, who gives them false hope by saying all the right things but then disappearing or breaking their promises. The song talks about the frustration and hurt that comes from being in a relationship where you are not a priority, where you are only wanted sometimes. The protagonist realizes that they cannot continue to be in this kind of relationship and that it is better to say goodbye than to continue being someone's sometimes. The lyrics use vivid imagery such as "Paint me in color then you fade to black," "Your broken promises and lies could fill up this empty room," and "Sitting alone at a table for two, You make me feel so small like you're trying to." These images create a sense of loneliness and betrayal that accompany the protagonist's realization that they need to move on. Overall, "Someone's Sometimes" is a poignant and relatable song that captures the feeling of being in a relationship where you are not truly loved or valued. It speaks to the importance of self-respect and the need to let go of the things that hurt us, even if it is difficult to do so.
