Maybe Next Christmas

longing

maybe next christmas she used to say
we'll find a new life and well both run away
maybe next christmas i won't be with him
maybe next christmas we can start fresh again

maybe next christmas we'll reap what we've sewn
maybe next christmas we'll pay what we owe
maybe next christmas we won't be afraid
maybe next christmas we'll both be ok

you can't pull the truth out of thin air
you can't manufacture what ain't there

and maybe next christmas we'll be by a fire
and maybe next christmas she won't be a liar

maybe next christmas i'll be in your arms
the scent of the evergreen
pushing us strong

maybe next christmas i'll finally get to see
you wearing that dress that you bought just for me
maybe next christmas you'll be by my side
relentlessly prove to me that i'm worth the fight
maybe next christmas i'll have more to say
than "i gave you everything and you gave me away"

so you can pull the truth out of thin air
you cant manufacture what ain't there

maybe next christmas you won't be thinking
that i'm just a criminal and you're still the queen
yeah maybe next christmas well have more to say
than "i gave you everything and you gave me away"
yeah, i gave you everything and you gave me away

For those of us whose Christmas wasn't everything we hoped for.
