Lists crafted carefully Presents wrapped under the tree Twinkling lights spreading the cheer But something’s different this year You’re not with me this Christmas even though I see you sitting there You’re not with me this Christmas and you don’t seem to care I’m handing out the presents I picked out While you’re stuck in your phone over on the couch You’re not paying attention Give a nod when your names mentioned Participating in a limited capacity Handling the day oh so casually Where in your mind did you think it was okay To be wrapped up in her on Christmas Day While your wife smiles and keeps asking you to open your gifts You can be bothered with any of it As you give your phone a silly grin She reaches down deep within Keeps circling back to the distance But she can’t figure that out this instant She has to keep the magic in the day Still make it special for her family She cooks and cleans as you disappear She’s really not feeling the Christmas cheer Why do you keep going outside Keep your headphones in like there’s something to hide You’re not with me this Christmas even though I see you sitting there You’re not with me this Christmas and you don’t seem to care Where in your mind did you think it was okay To be wrapped up in her on Christmas Day
