Getting close to the holidays
Such a happier time
But not so much for me
You left without notice
Could've told me where you're going
Now I'm asking all your friends
Where is he now?
They all told me
He's driving away from you
Couldn't believe it
My life would never be the same
This isn't a holiday for me
It's not what I expected
We had so much in store
But what happened though?
We could've talked it all out
You could at least tell me
Why you wanted to be free
It's hurting me much more
Than what you already know
Guess it's time to find someone new
Tearing up, burning up
Everything that you had left
If the holiday came sooner
I wouldn't be in this situation
You're missing out on tons of fun
You don't get to see my family
My friends, and my cousins
I imagined us sipping hot cocoa
And sitting next to a cozy fire
But all of that is shattered now
All there is left is pieces
Pieces of something I'm already over (now)
This isn't a holiday for me (It's not a holiday for me)
It's not what I expected
We had so much in store
But what happened though? (I don't wanna remember what happened)
We could've talked it all out
You could at least tell me (Why you went away)
Why you wanted to be free (Went away)
It's hurting me much more
Than what you already know (Guess it's time for me)
Guess it's time to find someone new (Oh woah oh)
Tearing up, burning up (Everything)
Everything that you had left (No no no no no no)
Hold on, now
Let's take a step back
See why you wanted to get away from me
Don't really know why
Why you're like this
It just gets me confused
What's wrong with you?
But I don't really care now
You're on your own
I gave you my love
I gave you my life
You gave me nothing in return
I'll get over it sooner or later
And find someone who knows how to treat a girl right
You don't wanna spend the holiday with me
Well, that's fine with me
Not gonna fight
Not gonna cry
Not wishing you well
Not gonna remember the bad times
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday
You wanted the holiday from me
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday
You had left your love behind
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday
This isn't a holiday for me
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday (Holiday)
You wanted the holiday from me (You wanted to get away from me)
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday
You had left your love behind (You left your love)
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday (Oooooooohohohooooh)
This isn't a holiday for me (This ain't no holiday for me)
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday
You wanted the holiday from me (Oh-oh-oh yeah)
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday
You had left your love behind (Ooooooh oooohohh)
Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday
This isn't a holiday for me (This ain't no holiday)
This isn't a holiday for me (Yeah ah yeah)
It's not what I expected (Oooooooh)
We had so much in store (Oh baby, baby)
But what happened though?
We could've talked it all out (Mmmm)
You could at least tell me (This ain't no holiday for me)
Why you wanted to be free
It's hurting me much more (I don't think about it)
Than what you already know
Guess it's time to find someone new (I wanna find someone new)
Tearing up, burning up (Somebody who knows how to love)
Everything that you had left (Yeah ah oh yeah)
Worst holiday I ever had.
