lyrics

Your annual Christmas card
not exactly a work of art, it seems more
like a piece of work to me
a necessary chore

‘cause it was ages ago
At least that I know for sure
that you accepted me for who I was
Now there’s sorrow in your face,
caused by the error of my ways

You probably felt kind
when you sent me this reminder
of how my love isn’t mine
‘cause it’s not really love

‘cause you wrote only one name
Will you stop playing this game some time?
It’s really gotten old
You tell me I’m in your hearts
and then write on your Christmas cards:

“Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you but not to you”
“Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas
here’s one ticket home” when we are two

Now I will answer this coldness
with a brash of boldness you
haven’t seen in me yet and there’s nothing
you can do

And when you’ll read this letter
I will already feel better like I have
never felt before, I wonder
no longer why
Now this year don’t wait for me
‘cause here’s a change of key

I won’t come home for Christmas
I won’t come home for Christmas
I won’t come home for Christmas
Not alone
