It was Christmas day, I was eight
Had to open my presents, didn’t want to be late
Thought opening my presents was gonna be fun
Looking through them, looking for the one
But the present by Santa wasn’t under the tree
I cried and cried, tears rolling down my cheeks
Then my parents sat me down said they wanted to talk
And this is what they said
Santa’s not real
He never was
Santa’s not real
Please don't cry
Might not have been the best time to tell you
Now that Christmas is near, but,
I don’t want you going into the day,
Believing in someone that was never here and
Don’t blame it on me, you needed to know
So now you won’t be asking – where did Santa go?
And just to make sure you got the point
Here we go again
Santa’s not real
He never was
Santa’s not real
Please don't cry
Santa’s not real
He never was
Santa’s not real
Please don't cry
Santa’s not real
He never was
Santa’s not real
Please don't cry
