You were so down yesterday
You were never one for winter, relentlessly gray
So pour two glasses
And leave the light in the driveway on
I need to feel your trembling lips on my neck

I'll never leave you alone again
To stare this dreadful world
In its cold dark eyes again
Life can be such a ruse

I'm not coming home for Christmas
I'm coming home for you

Stack your troubles on my shoulders
And take a deep breath, don't choke on your freedom
Those cold lonely mornings
They aren't yours anymore, I think I can already see the fire in your eyes

I'll never leave you alone again
To stare this dreadful world
In its cold dark eyes again
Life can be such a ruse

I'm not coming home for Christmas
I'm coming home for you
I'm coming home for you
I'm coming home for you
