but it's something I'll never do
Because you can do better than me,
but I can't do better than you."
Christmas, another year gone and past.
Quite possibly the worst Christmas I've ever had.
Christmas eve at my grandparent's house,
Everyone had opened their presents already, I hadn't touched mine.
"What are you waiting for?" my dad asked me.
Not what-who, I wanted to say.
Elephant in the room, perhaps?
If there was, I put it there.
Everyone keeps saying get over it, but you see, it's not that easy..
All in all, I got some nice gifts, but nothing measures up, up, up.
I'd trade it all to have you there.
I asked for materialistic, because what I wanted was unrealistic.
2008, I gave up on you a long time ago.
2009, I've callen quits already.
I swear, as the years go on they all begin to blend together.
The clock keeps ticking, the calendar pages keep turning.
Tick, tick, tick. Where is my mind?

I hate materialistic Christmas makes people. I didnt have anything under the tree at my house, and Im not even sure if Ill get anything from Nicks family. I dont even care, its been one of the best Christmases Ive had, personally.
If I were at your grandparents house, I wouldnt have asked what you were waiting for. I would have just hugged you. And wouldnt have let go.
Questions werent needed. So much more was needed, questions is last in line.
questions *are* last in line. Sorry bad grammar irritates me.
i love you, little princess. you're my blonde, shining star in this mess of humanity. i'd trust you with my life.
