Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure, my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands, down on my knees

Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind, and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses, and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror, but what's left inside

Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind, and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses, and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze

You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy

I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could, I'd do it all over again

Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind, and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses, and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want, but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch, sometimes, it's a breeze
Well it's a breeze, it's a breeze, it's a breeze
