Just wanted to make a simple Christmas song for the holidays.
Merry Christmas, everyone

Lyrics:
Thinking about what I'd write
On possibly the last card I'll ever send your way
Would you even read what's inside
Or take to heart anything that I have to say
I'm running in circles tonight
Keeping me busy and intrusive thoughts at bay
Hoping for a quick reply
Knowing it's pointless, my decisions wouldn't change
But it's almost the twenty-fourth
A pile of invitations I've been trying to ignore
I'll just make excuses again
So before I come home I'll give you the option
To say that
You wanna be happy
And I guarantee
You won't see me
I'll wash off
The colors in my life
And use it to paint you
A better Christmas Eve
A Christmas Eve without me
You're most likely resting at home
Preparing a party you've worked on for days
During cold seasonal shifts
Waiting for my response by your fireplace
Thinking about what I wrote
And thinking about what I should've said
I'm rolling around on my bed
Because every mistake comes back flooding in my head
But it's almost the twenty-fourth
I'm home alone, pathetically, crying on the floor
Cuz it's meaningless to wait
Fully expecting you to say
To say that
You wanna be happy
And I guarantee
You won't see me
I'll wash off
The colors in my life
And use it to paint you
A better Christmas Eve
So just say that
You wanna be happy
And I'll guarantee
You'll never see me again
I'll wash off
Every color in my life
And use it to paint you
The perfect Christmas Eve
A Christmas Eve without me
