Sometimes when the lights go out
I pretend that I'm someone else
Yeah, I pretend like the best of them

If I hold
If I hold my breath just to feel my insides ache
From the pressure
Then I breath again
If I could remember
When it fell apart
The broken glass and bloody lips
I'm checking off your list

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
Yeah I pretend like the best of them
Just for a little while
If I could remember
When it fell apart
the broken glass and bloody lips
I'm checking off your list
Another cold december
Spent waiting by the phone
The broken glass and bloody lips
And I'm checking off your list
