| I wake up, look at the paper
|
| And I can’t believe the news
|
| The shops are closed, the roads are covered
|
| And I’ve 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 wish list
|
| 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’d have 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 |
