Lyrics & Translation
[English]
I'm alone this December, it's the last light of the day
Ooh, I can't help but wonder if you feel the same
Oh, I guess I'll surrender to the tears and the pain
And the cold we are under will remain
You were the hearth light, my fire that died
Waiting for morning sunrise
There is nothing under the tree that I wished for
I want you to come back to me and be like before
Have I lost you? And nothin' will ever fill the hole
My heart will be here under the tree, just letting you know
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
I'm alone this December, and the long nights, they begin
Still, my mind's overthinking, now, whose arms you're in?
And were mine just an afterthought of needing to be kind?
Guess when we're out of sight, it's outta mind
You were the first touch, first look in my eyes
Now we're just strangers who walk by
There is nothing under the tree that I wished for
I want you to come back to me and be like before
Have I lost you? Nothin' will ever fill the hole
My heart will be here under the tree, just letting you know
...
You were the first touch, first look in my eyes
Now we're just strangers who walk by
There is nothing under the tree that I wished for
I want you to come back to me and be like before
Have I lost you? Nothin' will ever fill the hole
My heart will be here under the tree, just letting you know
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
...
