Sometimes when the lights go out
I pretend that I’m someone else
I pretend like the best of them
If I hold, if I hold my breath just to feel
That my insides ache from the pressure
Then I breathe again
[Chorus:]
And if I could remember when it fell apart
The broken gla** and bloody lips
I’m checking off your list
Another cold December spent waiting by the phone
The broken gla** and bloody lips
I’m checking off your list
I’m calling ex-girlfriends
To tell them I’m sorry
Forgetting the next day
Trying to sleep it all away
Just to sleep it all away
Sometimes when the lights go out
I pretend that I’m someone else
I pretend like the best of them
If I hold, if I hold my breath just to feel
That my insides ache from the pressure
Then I breathe again
[Chorus]
I’m calling ex-girlfriends
To tell them I’m sorry
Forgetting the next day
Trying to sleep it all away
Just to sleep it all away
[Chorus]
