24th

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh gosh, how I miss you
If I could make a wish, too

[Chorus]
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 leavе my life?
How am I supposed to sleep at night?
'Cause you'rе not comin' anymore
It hits me on the 24th

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh gosh, how I miss you
If I could make a wish, too

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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

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