[Verse 1] I set my phone for midnight joy, but never heard it ring. Woke up with daylight in my eyes, and nothing left to sing. The room was quiet, heavy, still, like sadness paid the bills. [Chorus] I slept through Christmas Eve again, like I could dream you back. I hid beneath the covers from the world I can’t unpack. I slept through Christmas Eve again— don’t tell my friends. Just say I’m “busy” while I try to breathe again. [Verse 2] They’ll post their matching pajamas, their champagne and their snow. I’ll stare at walls and swallow pills of memories I won’t outgrow. I know it’s not a pretty thing, but broken hearts don’t jingle. [Chorus] I slept through Christmas Eve again, like I could dream you back. I hid beneath the covers from the world I can’t unpack. I slept through Christmas Eve again— don’t tell my friends. Just say I’m “busy” while I try to breathe again. [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I’ll get up and let some light come in. But tonight I’m just surviving— forgive me for the sin. [Final Chorus] I slept through Christmas Eve again… and woke up missing you.
