Acoustic Guitar
verse 1
It?s around this time of year I get to thinking
About all the things I wish I?d said or done
If I ever get myself together I?ll be stunned
I know that I can?t be the only one
verse 2
Resolutions rarely lead to revolutions
No not everyone can spark one from their bed
I?m tired and uninspired, truth be told rather be dead
The past is something I can?t seem to shed
Pre-Chorus
But it?s Christmas I?ll go through the motions
Atoning for mistakes I haven?t made
It?s the litmus, of my devotion
To people that don?t matter anyway
Just because it?s Christmas doesn?t mean I?m having fun
Despite all my ambition, what exactly have I done?
Interlude
Guitar Solo
Pre-Chorus
But it?s Christmas I?ll go through the motions
Atoning for mistakes I haven?t made
Just because it?s Christmas doesn?t mean I?m having fun
Despite all my ambition, what exactly have I done?
Outro
I keep hoping maybe next year things will change
Then when nothing?s different I try to assuage and smile
As time passes me by
I send more prayers than postcards despite all I lack
Yet every movement forward brings me two steps back
It?s time for cheer, maybe next year
And I won?t find anything I need beneath the tree
Or anyone around it that might disagree
That just because it?s Christmas doesn?t mean I?m having
fun
Just because it?s Christmas doesn?t mean I?m having fun.
