On Christmas Eve

Do you remember on Christmas Eve, we went to that party?
You told me it's your favorite time of year
With the way, the town's lit up and the air is filled with love
So you decided it was time I go and face my fears

You told me you'd be my angel of love, my shining light
You'd help me get the girl here on the holiest of nights

That Christmas Eve we showed up at the party
My head was filled with doubts my heart astir
You said as long as I keep calm, take a breath, it won't be long
Until she's walking in and I'll be next to her

So I waited while the night died down, but she was nowhere to be seen
When it dawned on me you'd disappeared as well
Then I heard that you were headed home once you told her I where I was
That you didn't want to interfere when she finally did show up

But I didn't want to be there unless you could be there too
So I fled without using my head and ran right after you

That Christmas Eve I came in through your window
(That Christmas Eve I came in through your window)
In a red hat and suit to make your dream come true
I spun you around and told you, you shouldn't be alone
So that Christmas eve, I said I'd stay with you

But then you forced me out the door and told me that I needed to go back
That she's expecting me to be there and I just can't waste this chance
But when you watched me walk away you watched me walk out of your life
Because you realized that if I'm with her you can't be by my side

That Christmas Eve you realized that you loved me
So you ran out after me but I was gone
You screamed my name into the sky, fell to your knees and cried
Because that Christmas Eve you chose to let me go
Oh, you didn't realize what you had till it was gone
Or maybe part of you ignored it and you knew all along
But it's too late to change your mind, you're out of time, you took too long
And now that Christmas Eve's a memory that hurts and just feels wrong
And just like every year before and every single one to come
You spent that Christmas Eve alone, no one to hold, no one to love
You stayed in Christmas Eve, alone no one to love
