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
