Christmas in the mirror

Verse 1 I took another swig hopin it would quiet down your name But that drink just unwraps every memory the same Last Christmas you were laughin in that warm kitchen light I swear I felt invincible with your hands holdin mine tight Now I’m drivin through the neighbourhood, breath foggin the glass Every bright house hits me harder than the last And I mutter oh damn when your face flashes by Why.. I ask myself why did we ever say goodbye Chorus Last Christmas you were smilin like the whole world shined Now I’m driftin through December with a twisted mind Bittersweet echoes follow me mile after mile Even the porch lights carry your ghost for a while He’s all alone tonight Passin those houses and lights Holdin on to that last Christmas When you were still in my life.. oh my.... Verse 2 There’s a couple on a doorstep wrapped in one red scarf And it hits me like a fist through this drink softened heart I slow down, and oh my… it nearly breaks my breath Because I used to have that warmth once, before the death Of every promise we whispered in the quietest snow Now the radio plays softly like it doesn’t know That half these songs ain’t songs, they’re knives Cutting deeper into what used to be our lives Chorus Last Christmas you were smilin like the whole world shined Now I’m driftin through December with a twisted mind Bittersweet echoes follow me mile after mile Even the porch lights carry your ghost for a while He’s all alone tonight Passin those houses and lights Holdin on to that last Christmas When you were still in my life - but now you are gone Bridge mhm mhm… winter claws at my bones mhm mhm… oh damn, I feel so alone Every candle in a window under star cold skies Makes me whisper again why.. I ask myself why - oh why... Verse 3 Maybe healing crawls slow through a fogged up mind Maybe sorrow has a talent for leavin scars behind Still I drive with the bottle on the passenger seat And that mix of hope and heartbreak knockin me off my feet Till then the only warmth I find tonight Is your memory burnin soft in the frostwhite light Chorus (Reprise) Last Christmas you were smilin like the whole world shined Now I’m driftin through December with a twisted mind Bittersweet echoes follow me mile after mile Even the porch lights carry your ghost for a while He’s all alone tonight Passin those houses and lights Holdin on to that last Christmas When you were still in my life Outro mhm mhm… drivin slow through the night... oh my… you're just a shadow in my mirror…
