Forgot It Was Christmas

I wake up,

Look at the paper, and I can't believe the news

The shops are closed, the roads are covered,

And I got no good excuse

Well I came unprepared, but I'll prove that I care

I forgot to buy you a present

So I wrote this song instead

Well I made it for you, only took me a few

'Cause I wrote it in my head

I forgot it was Christmas

An empty space,

Below the branches of a brand new plastic tree

Ran down the stairs on Christmas morning

But there's nothing there from me

So you took off the star and you left me a scar

I forgot to buy you a present

So I wrote this song instead

Well I made it for you, only took me a few

'Cause I wrote it in my head

I forgot it was Christmas

I forgot it was Christmas

I'm sorry, it's Christmas

Forgot everything on your wishlist

I promise next year won't be like this

Isn't this the time of forgiveness?

Can't believe that you dumped me on Christmas

Just because I forgot her gift

Now I'm marking the spot, on the day I forgot

Who've known it's the twenty-fifth?

I forgot it was Christmas

I forgot it was Christmas

Can't believe that it's Christmas

All alone and it's Christmas

I forgot it was Christmas
