I wake up,
Look at the paper, and I can't believe the news
The shops are closed, the roads are covered,
And I got no good excuse
Well I came unprepared, but I'll prove that I care

I forgot to buy you a present
So I wrote this song instead
Well I made it for you, only took me a few
'Cause I wrote it in my head
I forgot it was Christmas

An empty space,
Below the branches of a brand new plastic tree
Ran down the stairs on Christmas morning
But there's nothing there from me
So you took off the star and you left me a scar

I forgot to buy you a present
So I wrote this song instead
Well I made it for you, only took me a few
'Cause I wrote it in my head
I forgot it was Christmas

I forgot it was Christmas

I'm sorry, it's Christmas
Forgot everything on your wishlist
I promise next year won't be like this
Isn't this the time of forgiveness?

Can't believe that you dumped me on Christmas
Just because I forgot her gift
Now I'm marking the spot, on the day I forgot
Who've known it's the twenty-fifth?

I forgot it was Christmas
I forgot it was Christmas
Can't believe that it's Christmas
All alone and it's Christmas
I forgot it was Christmas
