Traditions Lyrics

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
