lyrics
This Christmas, you're going away
This Christmas, I wish you would stay
What can I do, when all I can say
Is "I was a fool" when the snow was on its way
What can I do, when all I can say
Is "Why did we separate?"
It's a fan to a flame not to empty my brain
Of our pretty little fantasy that never was the same
Time is my enemy and age is a pain
As a page in my life is engulfed in the rain
It's a leap to retry but the leap takes a life and I'm lifeless inside
Seen an end where you're here and an end to our fear but the end where we lose is the ending premiere
Cracks in the art that I fight to preserve
Just a slight redemption at a life I deserve
Do I listen to advice?
Kick the art to snow, say my Christmas goodbyes?
Take the bells off the sleigh to announce my demise?
Shut the gates to a timeline we joyfully cry?
The last of the gifts set alight on the floor
Sunken eyelids a-bright to a knock on the door
What can I do, when all I can say
Is "I was a fool" when the snow was on its way
What can I do, when all I can say
Is "Why did we separate?"
Seeing you from afar, sight straight gorgeous,
Here and the too small, our love is boundless,
Feelings overflowing, I can taste the sweetness,
Quick heart beats animate my senses,
Space from you and I makes me senseless,
Showed you my heart, and I hope it was harmless,
Play not by the rules call me lawless,
Hate in their hearts I see blackness,
Wanna drive a wedge between I and I,
Results still the same so I sit and sigh,
Definition of flight is dependent on the sky,
Wanna make a mark hit the bulls eye,
What's life to a being if it cannot die,
What's freedom to it if it cannot love,
What's the body if it can't feel,
Time and space is but perception,
Love transcends their conception made by separation.
