Wrapping presents for myself Christmas music doesn't help And I'm wondering, will it always hurt this way? Just another lonely, empty holiday And I wish you merry Christmas And I wish you happy holidays And I wish you a very merry Christmas And I wish, I wish to God Things weren't this way You are there, and I am here The children's voices sound so clear I can hear them In the background while they play I should go now, while I can It's hard for me to understand How two people so in love Could end this way And I wish you merry Christmas And I wish you happy holidays And I wish you a very merry Christmas And I wish, I wish to God Things weren't this way Christmas dinner on a paper plate I can't remember what I ate I stayed at home, I stayed alone I still replay And I wish you merry Christmas And I wish you happy holidays And I wish you a very merry Christmas And I wish, I wish to God Things weren't this way Oh, I wish, I wish to God Things weren't this way
