Testo Blackout Christmas - VÉRITÉ

Blackout Christmas

I don’t want to remember the way that you held me
When I was your baby, wrapped me up and kept me warm
I’m still dancing to tapes that keep playing in my head while
Snow falls and lights flicker red like I’m frozen in last winter’s bed
So I’m sitting
Drowning my sorrows in liquids
Sting when you sit and they hit quick
And take me where I need to go
Now it’s a Blackout Christmas
So I don’t have to miss you
There’s no hoping, no wishing
That you’ll come home
Stumbling around the kitchen
Crying and breaking dishes
I would give anything for
You to come home
I spent the whole year waiting for you to call my name and
Tell me you’re sorry for the way you broke my heart when you didn’t
Now it’s a Blackout Christmas
So I don’t have to miss you
There’s no hoping, no wishing
That you’ll come home
