(Verse 1) This December, I remember How you walked out in the cold. Left a message on the mirror, Said you needed something more. I tried to hide it, tried to fight it, But the truth is hard to face— Every snowfall, every love song Takes me right back to that place. (Pre-Chorus) And I know I should be stronger, But Christmas makes the longing grow… (Chorus) This December, I’ll give my heart to someone new, ’Cause last December, I gave it all to you. You tore it apart, left me out in the blue— So this December, I’m starting something new. But the lights still glow, and the memories show I’m not over you… This December, I swear I’m letting go. (Verse 2) Fire’s burning, records turning, But it’s silent in my chest. All our photos in a shoebox That I’m trying to forget. Friends are laughing, people dancing, But you’re still the ghost I chase. Every present, every carol Feels like you’re still in the place. (Pre-Chorus) And I tell myself it’s over, But Christmas makes the feelings colder… (Chorus) This December, I’ll give my heart to someone new, ’Cause last December, I gave it all to you. You tore it apart, left me out in the blue— So this December, I’m starting something new. But the lights still glow, and the memories show I’m not over you… This December, I swear I’m letting go. (Bridge — emotional, soft, like George) Maybe someday, somewhere down the line, I’ll hear your name and won’t feel that sting inside. But right now the bells And the Christmas nights Make me wish you were still mine… (Final Chorus) This December, I’ll give my heart to someone new, ’Cause last December, I gave it all to you. You broke it apart— But I’m stronger without you. And though the lights still shine Like they did that night… This December, I’m taking back my life. Yeah, this December— I’m finally letting go.
