lyrics

Wait, are you really going?
We've managed to tough it out before
Can't you see it's snowing?
Come back in and close the door
Baby, I know I've hurt you
Said things too ugly to defend
But you know, I hurt too
Can't believe this is the end
With every step you're taking
The more my heart is breaking
And what a time to leave
It's Christmas Eve
And though you've had your doubts now, that we can work things out now
Why can't we make believe?
Because it's Christmas Eve

Will you sit down and face me?
So we can talk it through
Because we've been at war lately
It doesn't mean I don't love you
If you don't really love me
Well then you'll have to go
But you must have loved me
And love again could grow
When all we have is dying, you can't blame me for trying
To beg for some reprieve
Because it's Christmas Eve!
The snow is settling outside, do you wanna fight at Yuletide
I'm begging heart on sleeve
Don't go on Christmas Eve

Don't walk away again
Was all I said in vain?
Don't leave me here to grieve
Alone on Christmas Eve
With every step you're taking
The more I can't stop shaking
Don't leave me here to grieve
Alone on Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve........
