Sad Holiday (2020 Version)
[Verse 1]
It’s that special time of year
With the streets lit through the night
The radio is playin' all Christmas songs
People feel merry and bright
But I can’t wake up in the morning
'Cause Something doesn’t feel right
Even though the holidays are coming
I still feel the weight of my life

[Chorus]
So I put on my coat
Brush my hair
Put up my Christmas lights
Fake the motions 'till I feel alright
This time of year makes me
Some kinda way I don’t how to say if I do-
All the things that I’m supposed to do
Maybe I’ll feel better soon
Everyone’s red and I feel blue
I’m fighting through my sad holiday

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on we will be alright
Fake a smile to get through the night
Hold on wе will be alright
Fake a smile to gеt through the night
[Verse 2]
It makes me feel worse when people around me are full of cheer
It makes me wonder what it’ll take for me to love this time of year
Everyone around me wants to go out now and celebrate
But I can’t help that I’m not jolly I’m going through the motions on Christmas day

[Chorus]
So I put on my coat
Brush my hair
Put up my Christmas lights
Fake the motions 'till I feel alright
This time of year makes me
Some kinda way I don’t how to say if I do-
All the things that I’m supposed to do
Maybe I’ll feel better soon
Everyone’s red and I feel blue
I’m fighting through my sad holiday

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on we will be alright
Fake a smile to get through the night
Hold on we will be alright
Fake a smile to get through the night

[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel the magic in the air
Sometimes I’m almost happy, almost there
But then the snow melts and I forget that I was ever fine
So I put on my coat
Brush my hair
Put up my Christmas lights
Fake the motions till I feel alright
This time of year makes me
Some kinda way I don’t how to say if I do-
[Chorus]
So I put on my coat
Brush my hair
Put up my Christmas lights
Fake the motions till I feel alright
This time of year makes me
Some kinda way I don’t how to say if I do-
All the things that I’m supposed to do
Maybe I’ll feel better soon
Everyone’s red and I feel blue
I’m fighting through my sad holiday

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on we will be alright
Fake a smile to get through the night (I'm fighting through my sad holiday)
Hold on we will be alright
Fake a smile to get through the night

[Outro]
Hold on we will be alright
Fake a smile to get through the night
Hold on we will be alright
Fake a smile to get through the night
