You're feeling down and there's no-one around
You can see why you keep your head up high
Little sisters running around with candy 
And you don't wanna suffer your pride 
So you shut up while your mommy is crying loud
Daddy's decorating the wall 
And the Christmas tree 
It's the worst of days
So you lay down in your bed 

And oh, Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
It's a shame what you have with your family affair but still
Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
'Twas a dream that you had, 'twas a dream that's passed away

Your house was made of blood and tears
You wanna pray from the opera
But you got no money to escape from tragedy
Bad luck, girl, when daddy's here again
He's got his anger and way too drunk to speak
So he can't understand your misery at all
It's the worst of days
And we all barely fades away

Oh, Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
It's a shame that we had with a family affairs but still
Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
And the dream that we had, was a dream but the worst of days 
It couldn't be good
