[English]

You would think after all these years

You would get it, but we're not there

Never bring me a good day

You won't take this holiday

Always putting me in the clouds

Stormy weather all around

And I always hold you down

When I know that I can do better

Holidays are supposed to bring us closer

But now I realize, with me and you there's no hope

I lost my love on Christmas night

A gift that hurts at the same time, yeah

'Bout to be a new year, a new state of mind

But it's like hell right now, 'cause you're not around

On Christmas night

You would think after all these fights

We would finally get it right

We would live in a hell of a life

But love had a different side

We had it (yeah), we lost it (yeah)

Can't get back to where we started

Damn, it always feels like rain

And we'll never be the same, oh

Holidays are supposed to bring us closer

But now I realize, with you and me, there's no hope

I lost my love on Christmas night (On Christmas night)

A gift that hurts at the same time, yeah

'Bout to be a new year, a new state of mind

But it's like hell right now, 'cause you're not around

On Christmas night

By the fire

While the snow falls down outside

I should be happy, but I just wanna cry

Cause those gifts that you bought me

Are still under the tree

I should tear 'em up

Just like you did to me

I lost my love on Christmas night (On Christmas night)

(It hurts, it hurts)

At the same time

'Bout to be a new year, a new state of mind

But it's like hell right now, 'cause you're not around

On Christmas night
