Merry

I'm at my sister's house this holiday season
Cause I'm looking after her dog
She lives on Evergreen Street
Now isn't that funny
I've never been here before
It's her place but she's gone

I passed by your house on my drive here
The Christmas lights took me back a year
I had to smack my steering wheel
Cause now you're two minutes away
But I reached out today
And you don't wanna see me
You need space to heal

But I miss you
And I'm sorry
That we can't keep this up cause I'm 400 miles away

Last time I kissed you
I felt it in my gut
That you were done with this
You'd had your fill of me
And we would never be the same

It's so ironic I'm a walk away but you don't wanna see me
Why'd you have to give up on me now
This is the easiest it's ever been
Not seven hours or 45 minutes
I wanna build you up, but I keep letting you down

We'd have this whole place to ourselves
Deck the halls and start the fire
Presents under the tree to unwrap
We could slow dance in the living room and kiss under the mistletoe
But I'm stuck here with no one but this dog in my lap

I really miss you
And I'll keep dreaming
Of a holiday I'll wake up to you by my side

And I'd kiss you
Merry Christmas honey
But that's just a fantasy
The real world isn't so merry
And the lights don't shine that bright
