Festive Scorn

And it’s Christmas Eve babe

And I’m sitting beside the fire

You took all of my beautiful dreams

And threw them on the pyre

This time of year is meant for hope

And you took all of that too

Why’d you have to be so heartless

And make it all about you?

These gifts I had to give away

Well I’ll take them back again

You cut my skin and broke my heart

When you said “Just let’s be friends”

I deserve more than that, you know I do

Don’t know just what comes next

It was the cruel way you cast me aside

And the fact you did it all by text

Well I’m stronger inside than you’d believe

Won’t let you keep me down forever

I’ll be back next year in the prime of my life

And I won’t think about you ever

So raise a glass in your twisted world

Pretend you’re full of festive cheer

But we both know it can’t be true

Because your heart is ruled by fear
