This year might have been
The very worst
So we welcome
January 1st
But if you thought this was bad
You just wait til next year
Merry christmas and a crying new tear
We never thought
That it'd get as bad as this
Every tomorrow
Feels like the apocalypse
But if you think the going's getting tough
You just wait till next month
Merry christmas and a crying new tear
These days all just feel like a dream
Or a nightmare unfolding that we can't wake from
I don't know how we got here I just want to go back
I just want to go back to another year
Because now every morning
I'm awakening with fear
Merry christmas and a crying new tear
(waltz) Merry chirstmas and a crying new tear
