I'm so glad you made time to see me How's life, tell me how's your family? I haven't seen them in a while You've been good, busier then ever Small talk, Work and the weather Your guard is up and I know why Cause the last time you saw me Still burns in the back of your mind You gave me roses and I left them there to die So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright I go back to December all the time These day's I haven't been sleeping Staying up playing back myself pleading When your birthday passed and I didn't call And I think about summer all the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the Passenger side Realized that I loved you in the fall Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time I miss your touch and your sweet smiles so good to me so right And how you held me in your arms that September night The first time you ever saw me cry Maybe this is wishful thinking Probably my mindless dreaming If we loved again I swear I'd love you right I'd go back in time and change it but I can't So if the chain is on your door I understand So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time All the time
