about

I was thinking about doing a Christmas song that captures the darker side of the holidays. It's never a good time to lose someone you love, but the holidays seem to make it especially painful. This song is for those enduring that pain.

lyrics

Trying to make sense of this
Like mistletoe without your kiss, it's pointless
Walked into this empty room
Still carries the scent of you
Lord, tell me what am I gonna do

I'm trying to find the Christmas spirit
It's so hard for me to feel it now
'Cause it doesn't feel right without you
Tell me where's the joy and cheer
When I don't even have you near me (how)
Tell me how I'm supposed to deal with this ('cause it's)

This is the happiest time of the year
But I'm here trying to fight back these tears
You're gone away and this holiday
I need you to know that it's your love
Your love is the only gift I need
Baby, I'll be your tree - you can stay under me (please)
No, you can't leave me alone at Christmas
How you gon' leave me alone at Christmas?

These colored lights don't seem so bright
Ever since you walked out of my life, it's darkness
The fireplace is burning but I'm cold, so cold
From this emptiness down in my soul

Pre-hook
Hook

Kids are laughing and happy songs are playing on the radio
Friends and family, they don't know
My sorrow or my pain (baby)
I just pray that things will change
