Sound of frozen ground under my feet
It's so cold out, but I can't seem to leave
There's a rock and some flowers, notes from your brother
The air hurts my chest, but it's more like a burning than the emptiness
Merry Christmas
Hung some lights up, decorated a tree
One last moment, playing make them believe
All the calls and 'how are you's, the people around you
Just wasn't enough to take you away from the emptiness
Merry Christmas
You made yourself quiet
Could I have tried harder
I'll always remember
Every December when the emptiness
Settles In
