The Jade Tree Years Were My Best

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

The broken glass and bloody lips

Another cold December spent waiting by the phone

The broken glass and bloody lips

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

R:

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
