Forget December

Forget December
On Christmas mourning
Outside it was pouring
All was hopeless in this home
No one speaking
No one creeping
To see if she was on the phone
And you were quiet
This routine riot
Is all but practical to me
And if we see it
Why can't we be it
Can we let each other be?

[Chorus]
Forget December
It won't be better
Than I remember it before
And this month only
Would be so lonely
And not so homely anymore
New Year's Eve came
But nothing had changed
All the problems just got worse
We sat in silence
The routine science
Could hear the sickness we rehearse
And if I'm talking
My words are mocking
For deaf ears they have fallen on
These words are tainted
With years of jaded
In a sense that's all but gone.
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
A silent night
Won't feel quite right
It's not so silent anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Oh Christmas morning
Outside it was pouring
All was hopeless in this home
