i forgot it was christmas

The Downtown Fiction

I wake up look at the paper
And I can't believe the news
The shops are closed
The roads are covered
And I've 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
Cuz I wrote it in my head
I forgot it was Christmas

An empty space
Below the branches
Of our 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
Cuz 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 wont be like
this
Isn't this the time of forgiveness?

I can't believe that she dumped me
on Christmas
Just because I forgot her gift
Now I'm marking the spot
On the day I forgot
Who'd have known it's the 25th?
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
