Spending Time With Jack

Don’t talk about it
‘cos I can’t live without it
Don’t wanna think about it
I’m saving a space in my mind
Putting memories of you inside
Maybe one day I’ll open it up
Again
But don’t talk about it. Not today
I can’t stand the pain

I replaced your love
With bitter, twisted anger
And I got myself a new best friend
Together, whenever darkness falls
I’m spending time with Jack
Don’t care where I’ve been
Don’t care about my feelings
Now it’s got too late to contemplate
Life and all it’s meanings

I’ve slipped away from reality
Locked up all my doors
Built a wall, 12 foot tall
Aint no one getting through
Just hanging out with Jack
The only friend I need
Gaining time to ease my mind
Gaining time to breath
