Cover art for That Year lyrics by Brandi Carlile

Saw her perform @ THE FILLMORE and both tune and lyrics haunt me weeks later. Like insult_to_injury said: Brandi wrote this as an angry teen who hid behind simple denial(s) to mask her confusion over her friend's choice to commit suicide. That last line that origiro pointed out is my favorite. Cuts me to the core.
