Merry Christmas, our favorite time of the year
You know I miss us, never thought we'd be here
I went and messed things up, and now I'm spending it all by myself

I'm not giving up
I'll wait for you to come back home for Christmas
This life that we made doesn't feel all the same when you're gone
Beside the tree right next to me is where you belong

Another Christmas without a reason for cheer
Had the gift of your love but it all disappeared
There's only one thing left, and it's your picture sitting on the shelf

I'm not giving up
I'll wait for you to come back home for Christmas
This life that we made doesn't feel all the same when you're gone
Beside the tree right next to me is where you belong

I hang your stocking every year
It helps me to pretend you're still here, oh
So I close my eyes and hope you appear

I'm not giving up
I'll wait for you to come back home for Christmas
This life that we made doesn't feel all the same when you're gone
Beside the tree right next to me is where you belong
