The holidays are on us You see it all around The trees are coming up All over streets across the town This year has been a strange one I've lost and I have found This Christmas is the first one I'll be spending on my own I'm on the road to somewhere I know I have to try I didn't decorate And as I kissed the kids goodbye I thought about the memories And shed a couple tears But sadness doesn't suit me There is more for me out there And so for this Christmas I'm gonna find myself again I'm gonna raise a glass to me And to the person I will be Next year will be a good year I swear This Christmas I'm gonna find myself anew I'm gonna write my history Become the person I will be Next year will be a good year He told me that he loved me And I believe that's true But people change and I see now He loved the neighbour too And that was last December And I tried to make it right But murder shouldn't be What's on your mind on Christmas night This year has been a strange one I packed my bags in May And though it nearly killed me I am thankful in way And the holidays are on us I've not put up the tree But I thank baby Jesus for the fact that I am me And so for this Christmas I'm gonna find myself again I'm gonna raise a glass to me And to the person I will be Next year will be a good year I swear This Christmas I'm gonna find myself anew I'm gonna write my history Become the person I will be Next year will be a good year Ah I cut my hair and had a fling I sold the ring And bought a happy holiday Ah So "Merry Christmas" and I'll be outta here, I swear This Christmas I'm gonna find myself again I'm gonna raise a glass to me And to the person I will be Next year will be a good year I swear This Christmas I'm gonna find myself anew I'm gonna write my history Become the person I will be Next year will be a good year This Christmas I'm gonna find myself a new
