Hour early to the party But you're running late You said you would be here And not bringing a date Sad girl in the snow Waiting for you to show People come and people go Sad girl in the snow Imaging conversations by the Christmas tree I know we rarely talk But will you be glad to see me? Sad girl in the snow Waiting for you to show People come and people go Sad girl in the snow Sad girl in the snow

I won't pretend you're my date Underneath the mistletoe at eight I won't say that you're mine While getting eggnog at nine I won't trouble you again While you Snapchat at ten But it sure feels like heaven When you smile at me at eleven Side hug at midnight no kiss As the year ends But I'll be alright Because I know we’re still friends Side hug at midnight no kiss For new year's But I'll be alright here's my toast - cheers No these aren't tears Maybe this will be the year I finally learn how to be sincere I finally tell you how I feel But I know it’ll never be real Thinking of you gets me excited But my love will remain unrequited being friends is enough for me I’ll always treat you respectfully Side hug at midnight no kiss As the year ends But I'll be alright Because I know we’re still friends Side hug at midnight no kiss For new year's But I'll be alright here's my toast - cheers As the ball drops my heart stops Maybe this will be the year Tell you how I feel make it all be real But I don't know how to be sincere Side hug at midnight no kiss as the year ends Side hug at midnight no kiss For new year's But I'll be all right here's my toast - cheers No these aren't tears

I'm sad because I'm sad because I'm sad because I'm sad because I'm sad because I'm sad because I'm sad because I'm sad because Repeat

Doc says it’s bipolar depression Dad says I need prayer and confession Home from school but I haven’t unpacked Next semester I’m not going back Christmas is so much better When you’re depressed Hang the lights and trim the tree My life is a mess Doc says that I need medication Dad says that I lack motivation All alone on Christmas vacation I’m stuck in this situation Christmas is so much better When you’re depressed Hang the lights and trim the tree My life’s a mess Christmas is so much better When you’re depressed Hang the lights and trim the tree My life is a mess

If life were simple I’d have known what to do But I was twenty and confused I’d never had feeling for someone like you Though I’d been accused Winter is so cold When you are all alone I know what I’ve been told For these thoughts should I atone? Looking back years later on what might have been I wish we could have been more than just friends Invited to a Christmas party As my best friend Are these feeling in me natural? Because they just won’t end The way you laughed at all of my jokes And wore a skirt and tie We lived in such a small, small town So I had to avert my eyes. Winter is so cold When you are all alone I know what I’ve been told For these thoughts Should I atone? Looking back years later on what might have been I wish we could have been more than just friends Winter is so cold When you are all alone I know what I’ve been told For these thoughts should I atone? Looking back years later on what might have been I wish we could have been more than just friends
