[Intro] (soft distant bells, cold air) [Verse 1] No bells ringing on my street Frozen air, a steady beat Lights are glowing somewhere far I stay where the shadows are [Pre-Chorus] They say joy is everywhere But I don’t feel it in the air Still I stand, still I breathe This silence stays with me [Chorus] Let it snow, black and slow Silent bells nobody knows An empty tree, an unlit light I stay here on Christmas night No wish made, no disguise No reflected star in my eyes If you shine, let it be This quiet night belongs to me [Verse 2] Every laugh cuts clean and clear Every song I choose not to hear I don’t hate the glowing scene It was never meant for me [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to be saved I don’t need to feel brave I accept this steady sound This is where my pulse is found [Chorus] Let it snow, black and slow Cover words I’ll never show Midnight streets, December sky I let every moment pass me by [Bridge] I almost— (no… never mind) (Somewhere far, another light Same heartbeat, different night) [Final Chorus] Let it fall, let it stay I won’t chase the light away If they laugh, if they cry I remain on my side Merry Christmas, said somewhere else I hold this silence to myself [Outro] (distant bells fade out)
