Holidays Are Hard Final Version
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Lighting all the candles and
The flickering goes on and on
I can’t see
What’s missing but I know it is
Everything around me is
A memory in porcelain
It’s fragile, but I know that it’s about to break
‘Cause it’s that time of year
When all you hear is cheer
But everything around me doesn’t look like pictures
Chorus:
Holidays are hard no matter what
Especially when you lose someone
Even with the decorations hung
It’s softens as the years go on and on
When I open all the presents up
I can feel the presence of
The one I love is gone
Verse 2:
Secrets hiding in our heads
Unspoken rules are left unsaid
With family, the elephant is company
It’s little things
The ETA’s, the reservations, expectations
Get to me, but it’s more that’s haunting underneath
Cause it’s that time of year
When all you hear is cheer
But everything around me doesn’t look like pictures
[Chorus]
