Not This Year
This Christmas card
Is so contrived
A mannequin
Looks more alive
Haven't meant a word
I've written here
The page is full
Not one thing sincere
I can't I can't I can't I can't take it this is the time to smile I can't fake it please allow me the chance now to break it down
It's not snow it's rain comin down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
When I look
Into the mirror
No happiness
Is present here
Not supposed
To whine (I'm not)
Not supposed to cry (Cry)
Try to hold it in
But not this time
I can't I can't I can't I can't take it this is the time to smile I can't fake it please allow me the chance now to break it down (Down)
It's not snow it's rain comin down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
Don't know don't know
If you can hear me
I will I will
Speak louder for you
No more whispering are you listening
I am pleadin (I am pleading…)
I can't I can't I can't I can't take it this is the time to smile I can't fake it please allow me the chance now to break it down (Down)
It's not snow it's rain comin down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
I can't I can't
It's not snow it's rain comin down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer (Off the cheer)
Not this year (Not this)
Not this year (Not this)
Not this year (Not this)
Not this year (Not this year)
