lyrics

For Christ's sake it's Christmas
For Christ's sake it's a cold one
For Christ's sake you are one in a million
No I don't wanna lose ya
And I can't begin to think
All the gifts I never got and all I wanted was a drink

Just keep me warm in the middle of the night
I've been good but I don't feel right
Waking up before the sun rises
Waking up when there's no one else around
No one else around

When I was a young boy around the age of 22
I found out that you weren't real and I didn't know what to do
My heart's been bitten by the frost of your deceit
And I can't return your love 'cause I lost the receipt

Just keep me warm in the middle of the night
I've been good but I don't feel right
Waking up before the sun rises
Waking up when there's no one else around
No one else around

Hold on it's Christmas and there's no one around
It's Christmas and I'm feelin' down
