[Verse 1] I dragged it in from out the cold, needles falling like my nerve. I swear it used to touch the stars when you were here to make it work. Now every bulb feels dim and tired, like happiness got rewired. [Chorus] The tree looks smaller this year, and the room feels too big. I’m walking circles through the silence like I’m searching for a switch. The tree looks smaller this year, and so do all my dreams— maybe love was the height of it, and now it’s just me. [Verse 2] I hang your ornaments last of all, my hands keep pausing on your name. I tell myself “don’t think too hard,” but grief don’t play that game. Outside, the city shines and sings, inside, I’m counting missing things. [Chorus] The tree looks smaller this year, and the room feels too big. I’m walking circles through the silence like I’m searching for a switch. The tree looks smaller this year, and so do all my dreams— maybe love was the height of it, and now it’s just me. [Bridge] I didn’t know that losing you would shrink the whole damn world. Now every glitter memory just cuts a little more. [Final Chorus] The tree looks smaller this year… and I can’t reach the stars.
