This Is How It Ends Lyrics

The carols fill the speakers

Of the car that holds tree

The weather bites a little as you snuggle up to me

We drive up to your parents' house

The snow has all been ploughed

The mistletoe hangs over us

Like a dark, dense cloud

I can't please your family

And I don't like your friends

We made it to Christmas

But this is how it ends

Your mom thinks I'm quiet

Your dad understands

Your fellas are onto me

This is how it ends

Before these season's celebrations

I had no excuse leave

You are sweet and kind and wonderful

Baby It's not you It's me

Your sister knows I've led you on

I've gotta let you be

I don't know how to tell you

Should I just wait till New Year's Eve?

The party is over

And so are we

Santa clause is comin' to town

And he's skipping my house this time around

Because baby I knew better

It's too late to make amends

After I give you back your present

Maybe we could just be friends

So Merry Christmas darlin'

This is how it ends
