a selfish holiday gift |
| How many times did I say I wanted true love? |
| When you read me stories and held me to your breast, yeah |
| And how many times did I ask I wanted to stay up? |
| (Wanted to stay up) |
| But my daddy told me I should go to bed, yeah |
| And they left me there |
| Wide awake so excited |
| I crept downstairs |
| And heard something break in the room |
| Oh and then my dad left the room |
| And I said mommy, please don’t cry (Don't cry) |
| Oh, I’ll stay up with you all night (All night) |
| We’ll eat the cookies off the mantle by the lights (By the lights) |
| And she said baby it’s alright (Alright) |
| Just look around it’s warm and bright (And bright) |
| But I still felt so cold upon that winter night |
| I was five |
| Oh, I was 5, oh |
| Oh, I was 5 |
| Oh, I was 5, oh |
| And that star on the tree |
| That I cannot reach |
| Is looming weighted over me |
| And the presents beneath |
| Don’t mean shit to me |
| If I can’t have my family |
| On this Christmas eve |
| I can’t let you leave |
| I need you to stay, here with me |
| But these little hands |
| No, they can’t grasp |
| Anything |
| So I said mommy, please don’t cry |
| Oh, I’ll stay up with you all night (All night) |
| We’ll eat the cookies off the mantle by the lights (By the lights) |
| And she said baby it’s alright (Alright) |
| Just look around it’s warm and bright (And bright) |
| But I still felt so cold upon that winter night |
| I was five |
| And they left me there |
| They left me there, oh yeah |
| So on the 25th tonight |
| I’ll just wash my .45 |
| And pull the only thing that I can hold tonight |
| And I wrote mommy please don’t cry |
| Just know I loved you all my life |
| There’s just so much shit I feel at 25 |
| So this is goodbye |
