5 Christmas's

You cut me down,

I cut you out,

Skipped town,

On a red eye flight

 

Never could be something perfect in your eyes

Never let me shine my own true light

Despite of you I'm gonna be alright

And you'll never bring me down,

 

You moved in, to a premade family by numbers

Coloured in the numbers you liked

Left me empty, and blank,

Nothing more than a number on a page

 

Never could be something perfect in your eyes

Too many wrong roads, too many wrong songs

Despite you, I'll get mine

And I'll never let you bring me down, to the ground

 

Don’t go calling me anymore,

You left the tree, right where it stood

I grabbed my slippers and the half smoked joint

You made your bed; I slammed the door

 

Keep counting your greed

You will not buy me

I never needed money,

I just wanted you around

 

I’m doing alright,

I’m getting mine

Without you,

Without your love
