Thanks for the Christmas card I don't want to hear about your new job now I don't want to hear about your new boyfriend I don't want to hear about it all working out for you No, I don't want to hear it now I don't want to hear about your swinging new place I don't want to hear how everyone thinks it's great I just want to sit in our apartment and hate you Yes, I will be hating you for Christmas You can have the Christmas tree Remember when we bought it at the store down the street? Remember when I found that cheesy color wheel? I don't want to think about the lights on your white skin No, I don't want to think about it I don't want to think about last year at your dad's You said it was the best sex that we both ever had I don't want to think about my face in your soft hair I will be hating you for Christmas I will be hating you for Christmas I will be hating you for Christmas I will be hating you for Christmas Yeah, I will be hating you for Christmas I will be hating you for Christmas I will be hating you for Christmas I will be hating you for Christmas, go

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance But you still catch my eye Tell me, baby Do you recognize me? Well, it's been a year It doesn't surprise me (Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying, "I love you, " I meant it Now, I know what a fool I've been But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special A crowded room, friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice My god, I thought you were someone to rely on Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special [spoken] Merry Christmas, Baby why yes I will be staying inside this year, how bout you? Merry Christmas to you and yours and god bless us everyone Bitch!

Waking up in the middle of the night Stare at the ceiling until I see a little light Take a deep breath, it was just a dream Close my eyes and wait for sleep And I wait And I wait Lock the front door and step into the street Another day staring back at me Take a deep breath, everything's okay A dream's a dream, gonna fade away And I wait And I wait And I wait

You did not pay your balance down You do not deserve a sweater You were a good boy this time But you should know better Be a better boy next time Or just make some more money Will it trickle down? Is Christmas still happening? Jesus won't be back And Santa don't care About you Ain't got time for that Nah nah gotta make it back Count my full bags of cash Stash on layaway To get the bills paid Get your mind right Get your mind right

The warmth of your love's like the warmth of the sun And this will be our year, took a long time to come Don't let go of my hand, now darkness has gone This will be our year, took a long time to come And I won't forget The way you held me up when I was down And I won't forget the way you said "Darling I love you, you gave me faith to go on" Now we're there and we've only just begun This will be our year, took a long time to come The warmth of your smile, smile for me, little one And this will be our year, took a long time to come You don't have to worry, all your worried days are gone And this will be our year, took a long time to come And I won't forget The way you held me up when I was down And I won't forget the way you said "Darling I love you, you gave me faith to go on" Now we're there and we've only just begun This will be our year, took a long time to come And this will be our year, took a long time to come My, my, my

I’m not doing shit for Christmas Season’s cheer leave well alone Makes me scream like Halloween to see angels in the snow I’m not buying shit for Christmas Yule log, wreath, menorah, coal won’t arrive out of my tithe Come ye be alone, oh ho ho ho Lights on Carolers digging my fire They can stay out in the cold Lights on bungled and blust’ry desire like ornaments shattered on floors I’m not taking shit for Christmas Send me pics or toss the phone In denial, I wrap it up tight Can’t stand to want you close Don’t you feel like shit for Christmas? Winter solstice, Hanukkah, all of it Wake me up when you’re ready to midnight kiss

Every December I slouch and I sigh Oh My 80 degrees and it's not even 9 I'm listening to Nat on KOST 103.5 The sea level's rising But I've no remorse 'cause I'll Still get what I asked for Sugar in my coffee A new chewy for Maeby Extra second helpings With God as our Lunch Lady But every December I slouch and I sigh Oh My Another year hung up on days of lang syne Remember when weather was frost & fright? Now the rainforest burned and We're begging for more So we'll Get what we all asked for Anything's lawful In science & war And we Got what we all asked for

Things are gonna feel Different this year Cause there is no Tradition here And I don't know What to say today Except happy holiday Let’s not jinx the new year I’m just happy to be here Seeing you is all I know I can't even count on snow I wanna go to the dollar store On Christmas eve Collect all the stocking candy That we can eat Can we listen to Elvis Christmas On repeat? Stay up wrapping presents Until 3? I’m doing my best to get Here in one piece oOoOo I can't wait to see you Underneath the tree oOoOo Happy new year Happy holiday I promise you I’ll try to stay Through this new year And every holiday I promise you I'll find a way x3

Misty skies don't bring me down when I'm with you held by you Snow falls heavy to the ground but I'll dance through to get to you Winters past haven't felt the same so blue waiting for you I'll cry out and sing your name if that will prove that I love you Oh, it's not a promise No it's something more I'll smile through the winter I'll brave every storm From ringing sleigh bells through New Years Eve it's your kiss I long for it's our love I'll keep warm
