I'm dying to leave here
I don't do so well in the cold
Show me that vibrant smile
Cursed to fade as it grows older
If I could be so bold
You were the reason I hated Christmas
I'm so bad at wrapping presents
I'll turn my life around this year
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
I swear to those I love that I'm still trying
My best
Into the fireplace
I'm throwing all of the bad things away
Pull the curtains down
I'm far too tired now
To keep pretending that I belong here
Drunk, full, and heading for the couch
Hoping that the spinning ends
Another argument, I miss my friends
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
I swear to those I love that I'm still trying
My best
Into the fireplace
I'm throwing all of the bad things away
My parents never taught me
The secret to being happy
But I finally found a place
To rest my tired head
Where I feel accepted
We carved out a little hearth
To keep ourselves warm
And we mulled some wine
To help mull through old thoughts
Replacing memories of the holidays before
So we can finally feel at home
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
I swear to those I love that I'm still trying
My best
Into the fireplace
I'm throwing all of the bad things away
