Realize (How Christmas Could Have Been)

[Verse 1]
Now we're approaching the end of the year
The hurt keeps on growing, wish you were here
I wonder if you're also thinking of me
And of the good times that could have been

[Pre-Chorus]
Snow keeps on falling
Darkness is fading
Those lights ahead, so illuminating
Clearing my mind
I got it together
All that you failed to see

[Chorus]
I hope you realize, realize
How Christmas could've been
You realize, realize
How Christmas could've been
Somebody to love
Somebody to hold you
How it's supposed to be
You realize, realize
How Christmas could've been

[Verse 2]
I saw myself spending December with you
I'm hoping next year I'll find someone new
This holiday season I'm staying at home
It's such a hard time to be alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Snow keeps on falling
Darkness is fading
Those lights ahead, so illuminating
Clearing my mind
I got it together
All that you failed to see

[Chorus]
I hope you realize, realize
How Christmas could've been
You realize, realize
How Christmas could've been
Somebody to love
Somebody to hold you
How it's supposed to be
You realize, realize
How Christmas could've been
