Why Am I Crying on Christmas?

Snow is falling but it feels so wrong
The lights are twinkling but my joy is gone
The tree is dressed but I'm coming undone

Why am I crying on Christmas
Why's my heart breaking in two
The carols are playing but I'm barely staying
Through a season that’s meant to renew

The cookies burn and the stockings droop
My shadow’s the only one in this room
Silent nights never felt so true

Is it the weight of the world
Or just the weight of you

Why am I crying on Christmas
Why's my heart breaking in two
The carols are playing but I'm barely staying
Through a season that’s meant to renew

Every ribbon feels like a tether
Every star just mocks the weather
I wanted warmth but I got cold
I wanted you but now I'm alone
