The lights in the windows, they shimmer and gleam,
But they're just reminders of faraway dreams.
I walk through the streets where the laughter runs free,
But this season of joy feels so empty to me.
It's Christmas again, but I don't feel right,
When you're lost in the crowd and forgotten by name.
The world's full of warmth, but I'm here in the cold,
Another winter alone I'm stuck in this hole.
They're singing the carols, the voices are high,
But here in my silence, I can't even try.
I see them together, their smiles like the sun,
But this shadow I carry is too heavy to run.
It's Christmas again, but I don't feel the same,
When you're lost in the crowd and forgotten by name.
The world's full of warmth, but I'm here in the cold,
Another winter alone I'm stuck in this hole.
The joy in their faces, the glow in their eyes,
It hurts just to watch them while I wear this disguise.
They're wrapped up in love, in their red and their green,
While I'm fading away in the space in between.
It's Christmas again, but I don't feel the same,
When you're lost in the crowd and forgotten by name.
The world's full of warmth, but I'm here in the cold,
Another winter alone I'm stuck in this hole.
So I walk through the snowfall, a ghost in the night,
Invisible here in their season of light.
I used to be part of the laughter and cheer,
But now it's just winter, and the cold that I fear.
