I'll wrap your gift and put it under my tree
Even though you won't be here
And all I want for Christmas
Is for you to be here this year
And watch the snow fall all around us
But you're not here
So pack your bags and pack your suitcase
Just hold tight
I don't know if I'll make it through to
Christmas night
And all I want for Christmas
Is to hold your hand
I'd drive through snow for hours and hours
To be your man
I'll bundle up, I won't waste time, I'll hurry up, we'll be fine
As long as I see you Christmas night... Christmas night
Don't turn off the lights before you sleep
'Cause I'll be there
I'll put something special in your stocking
To show you that I care
And we'll stay up all night, in each other's arms
'Cause I'll be there
I'll pack my bags and pack my suitcase
To see your face
'Cause I don't know if I'll make it through to
This holiday
And all I want for Christmas
Is to taste your lips
I'll fly a thousand miles
For just one kiss
I'll bundle up, I won't waste time, I'll hurry up, we'll be fine
As long as I see you Christmas night...
I'll wait by the fire, look at our star
(I'll be there for Christmas wherever you are)
Just close my eyes and think about you
(Just don't give up hope, whatever you do)
I'll wait for you (I'm coming)
I'll wait for you (I'm nearly there)
My heart is true (I'm yours, too)
All I want for Christmas
Is to feel your heart
No matter the space and distance
We'll never be apart
We'll bundle up, we won't waste time, as I am yours and you are mine
We'll see each other Christmas night... Christmas night
(New Song, unfinished)
I never knew how you could stand tall
With my back pressed against the wall
You could have chosen anyone
But you put your finger to the gun (and pulled the trigger like a pro)
You wore that smile like a shark
Whispers on phones in the silent dark
Wielding your sickle with style and grace
Winning every pretty face
It's not you, it's compulsion
A hollowness filled with your consumption
Addiction to self-absorption
Anything to forget your own word
Knives laid bare on a screen
Pretending you're on my team
Rehearsing lines for your scene
A friend spent isn't a friend earned
So here's to past times, staying up all night
Sneaking out and sneaking in together
But that's the last time, I'll ever trust you
Because all that's gold isn't all that glitters
That razor's edge you've been dancing upon
Has got you drawn onto
The vile inside your head, and the phial inside your hand
You never wanted to take blame
For every target at which you took aim
Gold dress on your fingertips
Poached kisses on your lips
I tried just like I professed
But you never once confessed
The many things to which you wrest
Trying to quench your own thirst
I'll stand back, just like you wanted
Flash my teeth, as you flaunt it
Hope my ghost leaves you haunted
You call me brother, but, brother, you're the worst
So here's to past times, staying up all night
Sneaking out and sneaking in together
But that's the last time, I'll ever trust you
Because all that's gold isn't all that glitters
He just sits at his home
Wondering how he’s alone
Thinking about how he’ll make it out on his own
He looks in the mirror and says how do you plead
“Friggin’ innocent” but he’s as guilty as can be
And the time ticks away, as the clock melts to mush
And he’s smoking his weed for the simplest rush
He just stares at his face, the reflection ain’t kind
What was once just a boy is now filled with age lines
Used to be a kid, but now here’s an old man
Once what had life is now ready to kick the can
A young man at the age of twenty four
Left a wrinkling corpse that wasn’t there before
The years flew on behind, leaving this kid in his past
As he holds on his pride, and he sits on his ass
Wondering where things went wrong and how this came to be
While he’s still holding onto a single memory
It’s like the good mixed in with the bad…
And you got to take in all the happy with the sad
‘Cause if you don’t then you’ll never live life
And you’ll sit on your ass as time passes you by
It’s like the old mixed in with the new
And you got to enjoy everything that you do
‘Cause if you don’t then you’ll never live life
And you’ll sit on your ass as time passes you by
She’s just waiting to meet the right guy
But after thirty dozen tries, she’s starting to ask why
It’s like she can’t catch a break, it’s eating her alive
‘Cause she’s busting her ass for seven dollars twenty five
While her baby daddy ain’t nowhere to be found
‘Cause when he found out she was pregnant, he skipped onto the next town
She calls her momma and prays to Jesus everyday
For some rich, handsome man to come and take her away
She’s wishing she was Cinderella, waiting for her prince
But not a single guy seems to be taking her hints
She’s trying to look out for herself and her son
But it’s hard for her when she hasn’t found the one
Who will take care of her and won’t take her for granted
‘Cause she’s sick of feeling like she has been abandoned
So she’s slaving away, trying not to scream
As she sits on her ass, waiting for her dream
It’s like the good mixed in with the bad…
And you got to take in all the happy with the sad
‘Cause if you don’t then you’ll never live life
And you’ll sit on your ass as time passes you by
It’s like the old mixed in with the new
And you got to enjoy everything that you do
‘Cause if you don’t then you’ll never live life
And you’ll sit on your ass as time passes you by
I wonder if you still remember
Falling asleep on the phone together
Thinking we would last forever
So we thought
Now I'm sitting all alone here
After so many years
Nothing seems to stop these tears
Now you're gone
But I still hope and pray
You'll come back someday
You'll come back to me
Chicago...
I hope you know
That this melody is for you
And my star
Wherever you are
I hope that you feel this too
'Cause I've been wasting away
Every since that day
Every since you left... me here
I know distance is a nightmare
And that life was so unfair
To place us without a care
So far apart
But I hope deep down inside you
That you still feel as I do
And I hope that you know that you
Still have my heart
'Cause I still hope and pray
You'll come back someday
You'll come back to me
Chicago...
I hope you know
That this melody is for you
And my star
Wherever you are
I hope that you feel this too
'Cause I've been wasting away
Every since that day
Every since you left... me here
I tried giving a part of me… but you wouldn’t have it
I tried so sel-fish-ly… to be part of your life
You couldn’t admit… I was your bane, I was your demons
And now here we are, picking pieces of ourselves off the floor
So Kill Me Now, Just Like You Wanted (You Wanted)
So Kill Me Now, While You Can
I never wanted this, I never wanted to say goodbye (say goodbye)
I never wanted this, I never felt you’d walk away… (But It’s Already Too Late)
You tossed me off to the side... like a burnt out cigarette
You always found places to hide… to keep your heart from pain
I’ll never be sure… what this could have been, what could have happened
And now here we are, both just strangers to ourselves
So Dis-Ap-pear, Just Like I Expected (Like I Expected)
So Dis-Ap-pear, Just Like You Said You Never Would
I never wanted this, I never wanted to say goodbye (say goodbye)
I never wanted this, I never felt you’d walk away… (But It’s Already Too Late)
You promised you would stay, but that was all a lie (a bunch of lies)
You promised you’d be here, but then you started to stray (‘Cause You Feel Overwhelmed)
She took me by surprise
With every single spoken word
And as I look into her eyes...
I know that it's for sure:
She's everything
She's everything
She's everything to me, to me
I love to see her smile
And the taste of her sweet lips
'Cause I know God couldn't
Have created a girl that could be more perfect
She's everything
She's everything
She's everything to me, to me
She called last night... just to leave me her last goodbye
But she didn't know that she was my world
She's everything
She was everything to me
She's everything
She was everything to me
So I'm lying here in my bed
With her voice ringing in my head
Every word that was left unsaid
When she finally let me go
Now I'm trying to figure out
Just what I'll do now
Just how I'll live without her, I just don't know
I can't help that she was scared
I can't help that I'm confused
I can't help that I'm still stuck here not knowing what to do
I just wish that she may realize how much pain this still stings
And I just wish she knew that she was everything
She's everything
She was everything to me
She's everything
She was everything... everything... everything to me
I hate the silence... and the crushing hope
That I'll hear the vibration of my phone
I hate the night time, and the thought that you're okay
While I'm losing sleep and can't breathe while I wait
For your phone call, for your text, for you to reach to me
For the end-all of this mess, and find a way that we
Can move on from this or can go back to the start
Give me one last kiss, before we break apart
'Cause I don't wanna say
That this is the end... that this is all over
So can't we pretend... that we're alright
I want you to know, my little October
I'll still be here, y'know, I'll still hang tight
I hate the darkness... hate the sound of my voice
As it calls into the night just to give me some noise
Like a wasp on the window, begging to get in
Feel your sting on my skin, releasing your venom
Put me under, put me out, put me in my place
Push over over, push me down, that I can find a way
Back to your good graces, back to what we used to have
'Cause I want to face this, and not put you in the past
'Cause I don't wanna say
That this is the end... that this is all over
So can't we pretend... that we're alright
I want you to know, my little October
I'll still be here, y'know, I'll still hang tight
I can still feel a part of you here with me
Like a ghost of you is clinging like a memory
Like a sound in the shadows, like a light in the dark
Like a skeleton's bony hand gripped onto my heart
'Cause I don't wanna say
That this is the end... that this is all over
So can't we pretend... that we're alright
I want you to know, my little October
I'll still be here, y'know, I'll still hang tight
