Marcus Gray - Christmas Orphan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fake smiles under mistletoe lights
They pass me by like I'm a ghost tonight
Dinner table feels like a funeral home
Blood related but I'm still alone
Wrapped presents can't fix what's broken inside
These family ties are just pretty lies

[Chorus]
Christmas orphan in my own damn house
They talk so loud but I can't make it out
December demons got me figured out
No place to run, no place to hide
Christmas orphan, yeah, I'm still alive
But dead inside, yeah, dead inside

[Verse 2]
Mom's cooking dinner like everything's cool
Dad's watching TV, following his rules
Sister's on her phone, brother's upstairs
Nobody notices, nobody cares
Got everything but still feel poor
Like an outsider behind my own front door

[Bridge]
They say blood's thicker than water
But mine feels frozen, getting colder
Every year the distance grows
Under these picture-perfect shows

[Chorus]
Christmas orphan in my own damn house
They talk so loud but I can't make it out
December demons got me figured out
No place to run, no place to hide
Christmas orphan, yeah, I'm still alive
But dead inside, yeah, dead inside

[Outro]
Another year of playing pretend
Wonder if this emptiness will ever end
Tree lights flicker like my fading hope
While I sit here learning how to cope
