[Verse 1]
Careful what you say
This time of year tends to weaken me
And have a little decency
And let me cry in peace
But there's a place where I erase
The challenges I've been through
Where I know every corner
Every street name all by heart

[Pre-Chorus]
And so it is a part of my
Courageous plan to leave
With a broken heart
Tucked away under my sleeve

[Chorus]
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year

[Verse 2]
I'll pack my bags and leave
Before the sun rises tomorrow
'Cause we act more like strangers
For each day that I am here
But I have people close to me
Who never will desert me
Who remind me frequently
What I was like as a child
[Pre-Chorus]
And so it is a part of my
Courageous plan to leave
With a broken heart
Tucked away under my sleeve

[Chorus]
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year

[Verse 3]
I don't know what my future holds
Or who I'll choose to love me
But I can tell you where I'm from
And who loved me to life

[Pre-Chorus]
And so it is a part of my
Courageous plan to leave
With a broken heart
Tucked away under my sleeve

[Chorus]
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
[Outro]
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home this Christmas
Let me go home this year
