Sitting by the fire the tree all aglow
Thinking 'bout the love we used to know
But on that cold Christmas Eve you had a plan
Left me for another man didn't even give a damn
How could you leave me this way
Children crying every night hearts in disarray
I provided for you gave my all without a lie
Now you're gone and all I can do is ask "How could you say goodbye?"
"How could you say goodbye?"
Remember that snowball fight laughter in the air
Your smile shining bright without a care
But now those memories haunt me in the dead of night
Children's tears echoing feeling like a fight
How could you leave me this way
Children crying every night hearts in disarray
I provided for you gave my all without a lie
Now you're gone and all I can do is ask "How could you say goodbye?"
The scent of gingerbread lingers in the air
But the sweetness turned to bitterness it's just not fair
The taste of your goodbye bitter on my tongue
Loneliness surrounds me like a song yet unsung
How could you leave me this way
Children crying every night hearts in disarray
I provided for you gave my all without a lie
Now you're gone Now you're gone
How could you leave me this way
Children crying every night hearts in disarray
How could you leave me this way
Children crying every night hearts in disarray
I provided for you gave my all without a lie
Now you're gone and all I can do is ask "How could you say goodbye?"
How could you leave me this way
Children crying every night hearts in disarray
I provided for you gave my all without a lie
Now you're gone and all I can do is ask "How could you say goodbye?"
