I Forgot About Christmas

I would've been in L. A. by now
And I'd had called you from three time zones away
I'd say, "Forget this, I miss you"
And you'd tell me I was crazy
And I'd ask why you never asked me to stay

But now it's five below in Wisconsin
And I'm sitting on the floor in my room
Thinking 'bout the life I'll never have
Where I'd blow the little saving I had left
For a plane flight back to you

I've been going through the motions
As if you were here
There's no joy and there's no peace
I just want to disappear
I forgot about Christmas this year

Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm

I would've snuck out at midnight to see you
And drink wine that smelled like peppermint
We'd ruin each other's lives
And then make out in your car
We would've done that, but we didn't

So now I'm stuck in this little town alone
With nothing left of you but a box in my closet
I remember all the times I said I hate you
But between you and I
This isn't what I wanted

So I've been going through the motions
As if you were here
There's no joy and there's no peace
I just want to disappear
I forgot about Christmas this year

I forgot about Christmas this year

Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm

I forgot about Christmas this year
I forgot about Christmas this year
