Lyrics

Christmas feels distant and alien this year I need an injection of holiday cheer I wish I were planning some great surprise But instead I’m fooling you with my disguise I lie to keep from hurting you And my mind just keeps deserting you To try to hide the spirit that I lack I’d love to give the world to you But my heart just lacks the strength to move So I’ll wrap up some crap I know you’ll take back I’m broke and I’m empty And it’s sadly become clear That this year my honesty is all I have to give It’s all I can do to live I need a snowstorm and some hot food To pretend to be in the Christmas mood What should I do now, trim a palm tree? This year it’s just not working for me I’ll give you this strange Christmas song ‘Cause an upbeat one would feel all wrong ‘Cause nothing sounds good without sincerity There’s one thing I don’t understand Some write glad tunes on demand But a happy artist is a rarity I’m broke and I’m empty And it’s sadly become clear That this year my honesty is all I have to give But I want to live Because I love you … You’re the anchor in the storm You’re the heat that keeps me warm You’re the rope thrown down the pit You’re the reason I can’t quit That this year my honesty is all I have to give But you make me want to live again
