When I was young
and cynical
I thought I'd reached the pinnacle
but there was so much
more shit to come
Oh I should have seen it coming
As I tired of running
From my dreams
As I tried to play it cool
Now Christmas
Is upon us
And I'm at a loss
again
that old feeling
like an old friend
The shit will be with us
For as long as there's a Christmas
So I won't curse the darkness
this time
I'll light a candle
Even if I can't handle
The lies that will be spoken
With a smile
Another Christmas
Not another song that says "this,
this is how I feel!"
again.
I know what you're thinking
But hear me out 'til the end
If you're weary
You're not alone
the feeling will pass
and find a new home
Do you hear me?
I know I've no right to say
But this is something I've picked up
Along the way
I'll be young
and foolish
'til I'm old and foolish
And there'll always
be so much more to come
So bring it on.
