[Verse 1]
Never worn a dress like this before
And now my heart is on the sleeve
Walking through the people to the door
'Cause across the room you’re leaving me

[Chorus]
I didn't know I'd need my coat
Was it just warmer together?
Without you here this time of year
I honestly didn’t remember
Is it always this cold in December?

[Verse 2]
Never noticed footprints in the snow
When there were two, but now it's one
Walkin' through the city all alone
My empty hand, my winter sun

[Chorus]
I didn't know I'd need my coat
Was it just warmer together?
Without you here this time of year
I honestly didn't remember
Is it always this cold in December?
Cold in December

[Chorus]
There is a little of you in all of me
I didn't know I'd need my coat
Was it just warmer together?
Without you here this time of year
I honestly didn’t remember
Is it always this cold in December?

[Outro]
Cold in December
Cold in December
Cold in December
