bleak season (christmas time) ft. Conor Reilly Lyrics

I'm waiting for the snow to fall

Christmas lights adorn the hallway walls

And we all know the sights

Hopes boxed up beneath the tree

Hoping that there’s one for me, you see

I don’t know what it’s like

But that’s just Christmas time for me

I’ve got so much to give

But no one here to spend the holiday with

It’s such a shame

It’s not the same

As the way it used to be

Before this ever-looming apathy

That made the season bleak

But that’s just Christmas time for me

I'm getting bored of telling lies

Every damn December I’m in disguise

I'm just waiting for the day

The invite goes out, but nobody comes round

I’ll be by myself alone in my house

And sleep the pain away

I’ve got so much to give

But no one here to spend the holiday with

It’s such a shame

It’s not the same

As the way it used to be

Before this ever-looming apathy

That made the season bleak

But that’s just Christmas time for me

I haven’t seen Mum in seven years

Ever since Daddy disappeared

This family’s a mess

Christmas dinner, just for one

Undercooked or overdone

My life’s a fucking wreck

I’ve got no fucking friends

I’ve got so much to give

But no one here to spend the holiday with

It’s such a shame

It’s not the same

As the way it used to be

Before this ever-looming apathy

That made the season bleak

But that’s just Christmas time

Christmas time

For me
