The street shines so brightly through days growing dark.
With candles that couldn't care less where you are.
Another card greets me smiling today.
It’s gonna be more of a bitter holiday.
Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
Don’t come home.
I still remember every year spent together.
Is it pathetic that I kept every card?
This year they’ll be my kindling.
I hope this fire burns, wherever you are.
Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
So Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
Stay with anybody else under mistletoe.
Cause Saint Nicholas knows I hope
You choke on every single plan made years ago.
I know you’ll be so lonely buried under snow.
Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
So Merry Christmas, don’t come home.
Stay with anybody else under mistletoe.
And throw away every card I ever wrote.
