"Maybe This Christmas" lyrics

So it's Christmas again and I'm sitting here all by myself
I know I should be out under the mistletoe kissing on somebody else
But I still love her even if her heart has nothing left
I swore I'd love that girl till death

So maybe this Christmas folks will just leave me alone
And quit asking how I'm doing without her and if I'm ever going to let that girl go
They say it's time to start loving again and I've gotta find someone else I can hold
All I want for Christmas is the peace to move on

They say time heals the pain, but the holidays hurt the worst
They keep reminding me that there's another girl out there
That's going to give me all the love that I want
But I still love her and maybe it's because she never really loved me at all
And what we can't have is always what we want

So maybe this Christmas folks will just leave me alone
And quit asking how I'm doing without her and if I'm ever going to let that girl go
They say it's time to start loving again and I've gotta find someone else I can hold
All I want for Christmas is the peace to move on

So don't ask me what I want
Don't ask me what I need if you can help me out in any way
Because I don't want anything at all this year but for this ache in my heart to fade

Maybe this Christmas folks will just leave me alone
And quit asking how I'm doing without her and if I'm ever going to let that girl go
They say it's time to start loving again and I've gotta find someone else I can hold
All I want for Christmas is the peace to move on
All I want for Christmas is the strength to move on
All I want for Christmas is the peace to move on
