This Christmas card is contrived

A mannequin looks more alive

Haven''t meant a word I''ve written here

The page is full not one thing sincere



I can''t, I can''t

I can''t, I can''t take it

This is the time to smile,

I can''t fake it

Please allow me the chance now

To break it down



It''s not snow, It''s rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can''t pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year



When I look into the mirror

No happiness is present here

Not supposed to whine,

Not supposed to cry

Try to hold it in, but not this time



I can''t, I can''t

I can''t, I can''t take it

This is the time to smile,

I can''t fake it

Please allow me the chance now

To break it down



It''s not snow, It''s rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can''t pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year



Don''t know, don''t know

If you can hear me

I will, I will

Speak louder for you



No more whispering

Are you listening

I am pleading

I am pleading



I can''t, I can''t

I can''t, I can''t take it

This is the time to smile,

I can''t fake it

Please allow me the chance now

To break it down



It''s not snow, It''s rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can''t pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year

I can''t, I can''t



It''s not snow, It''s rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can''t pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year
