Anthony Evans' 'Sometimes Love' is a heartfelt ballad about the painful decision to let go of a relationship that, while still alive, is no longer whole. The lyrics trace a journey of prayer, endurance, and eventual surrender, acknowledging that sometimes love means releasing control and accepting the hardest truth. The song speaks to the struggle of holding on through storms and the realization that growth often requires letting go. It's a reflective piece that resonates with themes of surrender and faith, though it's more about human love than direct worship.

I prayed we would make it
I stayed through the pain when
My heart couldn't take another a break
I cried for you so many times
Wanted you to be alright
I told myself, do whatever it takes
And the answer became so clear
But it's not what I expected to hear
Sometimes you hold on till the storm is over
You pray and pray 'cause you think it'll all get better
Our love's alive but it's not whole
The truth can be the hardest road
Sometimes love is letting go, go
I didn't want to see it clearly
My heart wasn't listenin'
I was holdin' onto another day
And time, it was unfoldin'
Relentless hurt was growin'
At the end of me I had to face
I prayed, please show me your sign
But it wasn't what I expected to find
Sometimes you hold on till the storm is over
You pray and pray 'cause you think it'll all get better
Our love's alive but it's not whole
The truth can be the hardest road
Sometimes love is letting go
Sometimes love is letting go
Sometimes the only way you can grow
Is when you're willin' inside your soul
To surrender all control
It hurts sometimes and I wish it wasn't so hard
I wish it wasn't so hard
Sometimes you hold on till the storm is over
You pray and pray 'cause you think it'll all get better
Our love's alive but it's not whole
The truth can be the hardest road
Sometimes love is letting go
Sometimes love is letting go
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh, sometimes love is letting go
Go-oh
