Want you to hear what I say
It's okay if you're not feeling happy
Especially when you can't escape
All of the merry and jolly and sappy

Want you to hear what I say
You can be happy and sad at the same time
Especially when you can't escape
Know that you're never alone at Christmas

Sick of feeling low when everyone's smiling
Stuck under mistletoe and you'll feel like crying
All the faces start to glow, but you know they're hiding
Some reservations

Season comes and goes, another reminder
A time you feel alone, just sit by the fire
Until you can go home, it's fine, you can make it
Deep breaths and waiting

Passing years make everything gain perspective
And one day, you'll see
Want you to hear what I say
It's okay if you're not feeling happy

Especially when you can't escape
All of the merry and jolly and sappy
Want you to hear what I say
You can be happy and sad at the same time

Especially when you can't escape
Know that you're never alone at Christmastime
No, you're never alone
I want you to know

That you're never alone at Christmas
So I'm in the house, I'm cold, around the world, waiting
But as the years go on, you'll always get braver
Never get so low you can't find a silver lining

Waiting
Season comes and goes, another reminder
A time you used to feel alone, just sat by the fire
Until you could go home, I knew you could make it

No hesitation
Passing years makes everything gain perspective
And one day, you'll see
Want you to hear what I say

It's okay if you're not feeling happy
Especially when you can't escape
All of the merry and jolly and sappy
Want you to hear what I say

You can be happy and sad at the same time
Especially when you can't escape
Know that you're never alone at Christmastime
No, you're never alone

I want you to know
That you're never alone at Christmastime
