[Verse 1] Snow on the pavement, still warm from your shoes, I pass the café where I first saw you. Your laugh in the doorway felt close enough to keep, Now it drifts through the evening like a half-remembered dream. [Pre-Chorus] And I tell my friends I’m fine, But the truth slips out sometimes, I still replay that night in slow motion. (slow motion) [Chorus] Last December, you held my hand in that crowded room, Said the season never felt so new. I let myself believe it. (believe it) Now I’m walking past the lights with a quiet ache, Trying hard to learn what my heart can take. Yeah, I’m learning how to feel it, (feel it) This Christmas without you. [Verse 2] I find your number tucked deep in a coat, Your handwriting steady on a soft, blue note. It said, “Let’s make this winter feel brighter than the rest.” Funny how promises linger when they’re never addressed. [Pre-Chorus] And the songs all sound the same, But they still say your name, Every chorus pulls me back to that moment. (that moment) [Chorus] Last December, you held my hand in that crowded room, Said the season never felt so new. I let myself believe it. (believe it) Now I’m walking past the lights with a quiet ache, Trying hard to learn what my heart can take. Yeah, I’m learning how to feel it, (feel it) This Christmas without you. [Bridge] Maybe next year I’ll let somebody in, Let a midnight promise finally begin. But tonight I’m holding space for what we were, Letting the warmth fade slow, like a forgotten verse. [Final Chorus] Last December, you held my hand in that crowded room, And for a moment I was shining too. But I had to release it. (release it) Now I’m stepping through the glow with a different heart, Finding softer ways to make a brand-new start. And maybe I’ll believe it, (believe it) A brighter Christmas, after you. [Chorus Reprise] Last December, you held my hand in that crowded room, Said the season never felt so new. I let myself believe it. (believe it) Now I’m walking past the lights with a quiet ache, Trying hard to learn what my heart can take. Yeah, I’m learning how to feel it, (feel it) This Christmas without you.
