Traditions
We're singing white Christmas, it's not even snowing
Somebody's blaming it on global warming
We go up to London to look at the lights
Watch the same movies, have the same fights
Glitter on the counter and in the champagne
Every December it's always the same
I show up to parties all by myself
Try to be happy for everyone else
Take all the pictures then hide in the kitchen
Tell myself this time next year will be different
But nothing has changed
Just the dress that I'm in and the lines on my face
Everyone's got their traditions
Why is mine being lonely at Christmas
I drive home alone to my family's house
Their personal questions, well-meaning suggestions
Don't get a bedroom, I sleep on the couch
'Cause they're all in couples and I'm the odd one out
Feels like I'm stuck in the opening scene
Of a cheap Christmas movie sent straight to TV
I show up to parties all by myself
Try to be happy for everyone else
Take all the pictures then hide in the kitchen
Tell myself this time next year will be different
But nothing has changed
Just the dress that I'm in and the lines on my face
Everyone's got their traditions
Why is mine being lonely at Christmas
I show up to parties all by myself
Try to be happy for everyone else
Take all the pictures then hide in the kitchen
Tell myself this time next year will be different
But nothing has changed
Just the dress that I'm in and the lines on my face
Everyone's got their traditions
And mine's being lonely at Christmas
Somebody's blaming it on global warming
We go up to London to look at the lights
Watch the same movies, have the same fights
Glitter on the counter and in the champagne
Every December it's always the same
I show up to parties all by myself
Try to be happy for everyone else
Take all the pictures then hide in the kitchen
Tell myself this time next year will be different
But nothing has changed
Just the dress that I'm in and the lines on my face
Everyone's got their traditions
Why is mine being lonely at Christmas
I drive home alone to my family's house
Their personal questions, well-meaning suggestions
Don't get a bedroom, I sleep on the couch
'Cause they're all in couples and I'm the odd one out
Feels like I'm stuck in the opening scene
Of a cheap Christmas movie sent straight to TV
I show up to parties all by myself
Try to be happy for everyone else
Take all the pictures then hide in the kitchen
Tell myself this time next year will be different
But nothing has changed
Just the dress that I'm in and the lines on my face
Everyone's got their traditions
Why is mine being lonely at Christmas
I show up to parties all by myself
Try to be happy for everyone else
Take all the pictures then hide in the kitchen
Tell myself this time next year will be different
But nothing has changed
Just the dress that I'm in and the lines on my face
Everyone's got their traditions
And mine's being lonely at Christmas
