[Verse] Christmas tree lights They twinkle real bright (uh-huh) But inside my heart Nothing feels right (oh no) Got memories of Eee-dee Fifteen years gone (oo-yeah) Her spirit's here But the joy's withdrawn (woah-oh) [Verse 2] Family gatherings bring me back in time (yeah) But the pain they caused won't leave my mind (no-no) Toxic talks 'round the holiday feast (ay-yo) Makes it hard to find my inner peace (shake it, shake it) [Chorus] Why can't they see the hurt in me? (woah-yeah) Rejection digs deeper than a midnight plea (oh, oh) Got a heavy heart this Christmas night (mm-hmm) But I'm fighting to keep that spirit light (oo-yeah) [Bridge] Snowflakes fall softly But my tears they burn (whoa-oh) In the warmth of the fire I feel the yearn (uh-huh) For a family that lifts Not pulls you down (woo) For love that stands Not makes you drown (woah-oh) [Verse 3] Silent night doesn't feel so holy (no-no) When the echoes of the past still haunt me slowly (yeah-yeah) Trying to heal To make a brand-new start (uh-huh) But these memories weigh heavy on my heart (ooh-yeah) [Chorus] Why can't they see the hurt in me? (yeah, yeah) Rejection digs deeper than a midnight plea (mm-mm) Got a heavy heart this Christmas night (oh no) But I'm fighting to keep that spirit light (come on, come on)
