[Verse 1]
I've given all I’ve got
You've given me nothing
Something to believe in
Sleepless nights
But everyday I wonder
You're still dreaming
If I’m wasting my time here
No surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
The voices way to loud
Emotions up and down
Searching hard to find some light
[Chorus 1]
It's a war, it's a fight
On the worst of all nights
No, it's not the red that we wanna see
There will be no release
'Til we're down on our knees
Can we both agree
It's not how Christmas is supposed to be
[Verse 2]
I'm hoping this will be the year
I’vе been saying that forever
Agree to disagree
No compromise
Stay in
Go out
Bе alone
Be together
Respecting each other even despite
[Pre-Chorus]
The way we scream and shout
Forever falling out
Too much wrong, too little right
[Chorus 1]
It’s a war, it's a fight
On the worst of all nights
No, it’s not the red that we wanna see
There will be no release
'Til we're down on our knees
Can we both agree
It's not how Christmas is supposed to be
[Post-Chorus]
No, it’s not how it's supposed to be
No
[Bridge]
Maybe we can start over again
Make tonight the beginning instead of the end
Put down our weapons
Dry all our tears
Find love, love this Christmas Eve, yeah
Woo! Haha
Merry Christmas, everyone
[Pre-Chorus]
Just look into my eyes
Let me apologize
Here's the only place that I wanna be
I wanna be
[Chorus 2]
The only gift that I need is you loving me
And we both agree
This is how Christmas is supposed to be
This love, this love
This love is right where I wanna be
The only gift that I need is you loving me
Now we both agree
This is how Christmas is supposed to be
How Christmas is Supposed to be was written by Gary Barlow.
How Christmas is Supposed to be was produced by Gary Barlow & Ryan Carline.
Gary Barlow released How Christmas is Supposed to be on Wed Nov 24 2021.
The song is about a couple who have a falling-out, they can’t do things right, it looks like they might split up. The video needed a bit of acting so I thought Sheridan would be great. She had a listen to it then she was on the phone saying, ‘Yes, let’s do it’.
