I wake up, Look at the paper, and I can't believe the news The shops are closed, the roads are covered, And I got no good excuse Well I came unprepared, but I'll prove that I care
I forgot to buy you a present So I wrote this song instead Well I made it for you, only took me a few 'Cause I wrote it in my head I forgot it was Christmas
An empty space, Below the branches of a brand new plastic tree Ran down the stairs on Christmas morning But there's nothing there from me So you took off the star and you left me a scar
I forgot to buy you a present So I wrote this song instead Well I made it for you, only took me a few 'Cause I wrote it in my head I forgot it was Christmas
I forgot it was Christmas
I'm sorry, it's Christmas Forgot everything on your wishlist I promise next year won't be like this Isn't this the time of forgiveness?
Can't believe that you dumped me on Christmas Just because I forgot her gift Now I'm marking the spot, on the day I forgot Who've known it's the twenty-fifth?
I forgot it was Christmas I forgot it was Christmas Can't believe that it's Christmas All alone and it's Christmas I forgot it was Christmas
