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]
