lyrics

Don’t know how to carry myself this time
And the holidays creep up on me
The gifts and the parties and too many sweets
I just saw these weeks going differently

Lost the ground beneath my feet when I read your Christmas card
And I lost myself the first time we kissed
I freeze my face off crying in the backyard
I know I can’t hide, I just hate being seen like this

And I hate to admit, especially to you
I’ve still got a million things to say
But there’s nothing left to do

So I’ll spend Christmas on the road
I’ll be busy playing shows
And I won’t think about you
It would be just fine if it snowed
We’ll see how it goes, but one thing that I know
I won’t be thinking about you

My spine, my skull, and my skin, I wish they would forgive me
Wish I could have seen where we’d end up
I judge myself time and again for being too angry
Cause you took what I gave and it wasn’t enough

And I hate to admit, especially to you
There’s part of me that’s holding on to say
Hope you’re doing okay too

So I’ll spend Christmas on the road
I’ll be busy playing shows
And I won’t think about you
It would be just fine if it snowed
Well see how it goes, but one thing that I know
I won’t be thinking about you
