Dear Santa, It's been a while since I wrote you a line

I stopped believing when this heart of mine Learned Christmas wasn't made for a boy like

Me No stockings, no presents, no family tree

The lights on the houses feel colder than snow And the carols just echo what I'll never know

Faith, hope, and love, just stories they sell For a boy with empty hands and a heart that fell

So I never asked for anything Not a prayer, not a gift, not a single thing

Thought your sleigh would pass me by Just another lonely Christmas night

But if you're listening, here's my plea Why did she have to bring Christmas to me

Only to leave

She came like a star lighting up my sky Taught me to laugh, made me question why

I ever gave up on the season of cheer She painted my December with warmth so near

For the first time, I sang to the song she'd play She made snowflakes dance in a sweet ballet

But Santa, she's gone, now her light burned away And I'm left with the Christmas she made me crave

So I'm writing again, though I never believed Can you bring back the joy she made me receive

Or take back the faith, take back the lie? Cause without her here, nothing feels right

Santa, this letter's my last decree Why did she have to bring Christmas to me

Only to leave

I sit by the tree she made me put up The ornaments shine, but I've given up

I see her face in the glow of the fire Every spark reawakens desire

But what's the point of a season of gold When the love she gave has gone so cold

Dear Santa, I'll leave this note by the tree If you can't bring her back, take Christmas from me

Cause the lights don't shine, they just fade away And I can't face another silent holiday

She gave me hope, then left with grief Why'd she make me believe

Only to leave
