On Christmas morning, outside was pouring
All was hopeless in this home
And no one's speaking, no one creeping

to see if she was on the phone
And you were quiet, this routine riot
was all but practical to me

and if we see it, why can't we beat it
can we let each other be?


Forget December, it won't be better
Than I remember it before
and this month only, will be so lonely

and not so homey anymore

New Years Eve came, but nothing had changed

all the problems just got worse
we sat in silence
no routine science could heal the sickness we rehearse

and if I'm talking, my words are mocking
the deaf ears they have fallen on
These words are tainted with years of jaded

Innocence that's all but gone

Forget December, it won't be better

than I remember it before
and this month only, will be so lonely
and not so homey anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore

Forget December, it won't be better
than I remember it before
this month only will be so lonely

and not so homey anymore
Forget December it won't bet better
than I remember it before

a silent night won't feel quite right
It's not so silent anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore


On Christmas morning, outside was pouring
all was hopeless in this home
