When I think of all the friends I've had
You're the one that sticks in my head
But you weren't good
Yeah you were bad
And I'm just trying not to get sad
And holidays are coming
Yes chestnuts, they are roasting
In fires that are burning
And the hearts that are yearning
And this year's been a rough one
Must admit it's been a tough one
So now I've kept it together
Now I'm at the end of my tether
Oo-oo
And I don't know how
But I must stay strong
I'll believe in this
I don't have to belong to anyone
To anyone
I want happiness
There is snow, mistletoe
Candlelights, silent nights
Sleigh bells (sleigh bells) and spells (and spells)
Nutmeg
Stocking at the end of my bed (stocking at the end of my bed)
Santa, won't you bring me happiness? (Happiness)
So I'm still lost
And not quite found (oo-oo)
Am I doomed for a life
Dominated by doubt? (Oo-oo)
I'm trying to find
The good in this (oo-oo)
So I'm writing a word
I'm grateful for this
And holidays, they are coming
Yes chestnuts, they are roasting
In fires that are burning
And the hearts that are yearning
And this year's been a rough one
Must admit, it's been a tough one
Somehow I've kept it together
But I'm at the end of my tether
Oo-oo, oo-oo-oo...
Have I lost? (Have I lost?)
Now I'm done (now I'm done)
I was once (I was once) what has passed (what has passed)
Might have changed (might have changed) how I feel (how I feel)
Searching for (searching for) what was real (what was real)
And it's hard (and it's hard) on my own (on my own)
But I know (but I know) I have grown (I have grown)
It's a lesson (it's a lesson) in one's head (in one's head)
Having faith in one's soul
