"24th" lyrics

Sittin' in the kitchen, snow is fallin' outside
Hard to believe another year has gone by
I hold myself together most of the time
364 days, I'm fine, but
When stockings go up and they're choppin' trees down
And lights are turnin' on all over the town
People choosin' gifts for their favorite ones
You never even asked, you'd always know what I want

Oh gosh, how I miss you
If I could make a wish, too

Then, I
Would hang our wreath up at the door
And wait for footsteps on the floor
But you're not comin' anymore
It hits me on the 24th
Say, how could you just leave my life?
How am I supposed to sleep at night?
'Cause you're not comin' anymore
It hits me on the 24th

The light is flickering 'cause you never fixed it
Your mouth was loose, but now, I just wanna kiss it
The radio is playin' "Silent Night"
Makes me laugh 'cause you would never get the melodies right, mm

Oh gosh, how I miss you
If I could make a wish, too

Then, I
Would hang our wreath up at the door
And wait for footsteps on the floor
But you're not comin' anymore
It hits me on the 24th
Say, how could you just leave my life?
How am I supposed to sleep at night?
'Cause you're not comin' anymore
It hits me on the 24th

Maybe this time next year, I'll be better
And I have no tears left to cry

Then, I
Won't hang our wreath up at the door
Won't wait for footsteps on the floor
'Cause you're not comin' anymore
And I won't hate the 24th
Say, how could you just leave my life?
And tell me, how am I supposed to sleep at night?
'Cause you're not comin' anymore
It hits me on the 24th

Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
'Cause you're not comin' anymore
It hits me on the 24th
