Christmas, Hopefully

(album: Christmas, Hopefully - 2020)

Morning breaks, it's a sobering take
But I'm here, and you are not again
This time of year, I usually lean on
My closest friends, secretly hoping

That you'll be coming back here

I don't mind, I don't care
I don't need your love, and no
Maybe I never did
I am strong and I belong
To this world and if I cannot belong
To anyone, then I'll confide
In the quiet winter, light a gathering
And I hope you find some peace of mind
This Christmas, hopefully

It was Christmas night back in '99
You went out, no one knew where you went
And I've spent my whole damn life
Trying to find you

I don't mind, I don't care
I don't need your love, no
Maybe I never did
I am strong and I belong
To this world and if I cannot belong
To anyone, then I'll confide
In the quiet winter, light a gathering
And I hope you find some peace of mind
This Christmas, hopefully

I do mind, I do care
I still need your love
And the truth is that I always will
I'm not strong, I belong
To this world, and if I cannot belong
To anyone, then I'll confide
In the quiet winter, light a gathering
Hoping to find some peace of mind
This Christmas, hopefully
