the way

so it's that time of year,
people trying to forget themselves.
places crowded, people irate,
risking their comfort for somebody else.

that's how it's gonna be.

for me it's that time of year,
all i'm trying to forget is you.
you left me down and feeling complicated,
when i risked all my comfort for you.

is this how it's gonna be?
is this how christmas
will leave me?

just another reminder
of the fears you gave to me.
this is christmas, i forgive you,
just let me out.

because this is how it will be.
let me out.
