I strung Christmas lights on my bed Because they make me happy Because they make my dreams brighter But some nights We don't say goodnight And I can taste the bitterness On your tongue Like rock salt and toothpaste Those nights I unplug the lights Because those nights I don't deserve them

Christmas lights
I strung Christmas lights on my bed Because they make me happy Because they make my dreams brighter But some nights We don't say goodnight And I can taste the bitterness On your tongue Like rock salt and toothpaste Those nights I unplug the lights Because those nights I don't deserve them
