Brannan, Jay - Christmas Really Sucks Lyrics






It's cold, but light outside
another sleepless night
and Santa never made it

it's just another day
at least it feels that way
it's Christmas, and I hate it

the streets are empty
and so am I
to "Merry Christmas" I reply

don't put your trust
in happily ever after
fall if you must
for simple things like laughter
you said you'd always be here
but then you had to go
well, Christmas really sucks this year
thought you should know

I'm craving pancakes
so much my stomach aches
but there is nothing open

you're on the telephone
sounds like you're not alone
it's been so long since we've spoken

has your day been merry?
cuz mine's been blue
hey, can I stay in love with you?

don't put your trust
in happily ever after
fall if you must
for simple things like laughter
you said you'd always be here
but then you had to go
well, christmas really sucks this year
thought you should know

    Glad to see i'm not quite so alone with the Bah HumBugs. Yeah my Bf asked if would be ok if he went to the annual "Family" Christmas-Eve dinner alone. To top it off he stayed the night to truly leave me alone for both days. Yeah he got back 6 pm Christmas day. Sux, sux, & a humbug kinda suck to. Love your voice, your songs, & thanks for being there when "he" wasn't. (0_~)

    I like this song. I understand the lyrics as I am a widower of 6 years now and no it doesnt get much easier with time. However,christmas was mine and Noahs best times together. So even though its lonely and empty and sad, I find the strength to remember the happy times and so christmas is still my favourite time of year even though I cry alot, I can still smile with the memories.
    Jay, I wish that you will find some happiness in your sadness and find a way to feel as good as I do at christmas

  18. E.... ....

    My favorite christmas-song, so sad, so touching and so true. This song tells how I feel these days.
    Merry christmas!

    As a gay man brought up in a very religious household, Christmas always feels to me like being forced to attend the birthday party of the bully that picks on you all year.
