Stacey: Last Christmas

Last Christmas

I carried you near my heart

But the very next year you went away.

This year

Theres nothing but tears

We’re missing someone special.

Once bitten and twice shy

I think of another

But you still fill my mind.

Tell me why

I no longer recognise me?

Well,

what has happened this year,

It doesn't surprise me

(Merry Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it

For the angels to tell you "I love you,”

I meant it

Now I know what a mother is

I’d give anything to kiss you now

I know you'd heal me again.

Empty arms,

Consumed by my tired mind.

I'm hiding from the truth

And pain of the ice.

My god I thought you were coming home this year.

Me? I guess I have lost all innocence.

A face of pain with a fire of anger in my heart.

I try to keep it under cover but it tears me apart.

Now my heart has mothers love, you'll never be forgotten I promise.

Maybe next year I'll bring home someone

I'll bring home someone special.
