Morning breaks, it's a sobering take But I'm here, and you are not again This time of year, I usually lean on My closest friends, secretly hoping That you'll be coming back here I don't mind, I don't care I don't need your love, and no Maybe I never did I am strong and I belong To this world and if I cannot belong To anyone, then I'll confide In the quiet winter, light a gathering And I hope you find some peace of mind This Christmas, hopefully It was Christmas night back in '99 You went out, no one knew where you went And I've spent my whole damn life Trying to find you I don't mind, I don't care I don't need your love, no Maybe I never did I am strong and I belong To this world and if I cannot belong To anyone, then I'll confide In the quiet winter, light a gathering And I hope you find some peace of mind This Christmas, hopefully I do mind, I do care I still need your love And the truth is that I always will I'm not strong, I belong To this world, and if I cannot belong To anyone, then I'll confide In the quiet winter, light a gathering Hoping to find some peace of mind This Christmas, hopefully
