[Intro]
Cold December nights, memories frozen in time
Concrete angels with broken wings trying to shine
[Verse 1]
Council flat Christmas lights flickering dim
Mama's working double shifts again, trying to win
Empty stockings on the wall, promises thin
But we made magic out of nothing, that's how it's been
Microwave dinner for one, no fancy feast
While other kids got presents wrapped beneath their trees
[Chorus]
Frostbite memories cutting deep in my soul
Frozen tears on window panes, stories untold
Yeah, we're living in a winter wonderland of our own
Where Santa skips the block and leaves us all alone
But we still glow, we still glow
[Verse 2]
Second-hand coats and hand-me-down dreams
Estate kids making snowmen out of broken things
Watching through windows at picture-perfect scenes
While my world's held together by safety pins and schemes
Found family in the streets, that's all we need
Building kingdoms in the cold, yeah, that's our creed
[Bridge]
Christmas carols echo through empty halls
While I'm skating past the mall's decorated walls
F*ck their perfect little world, we got our own
Making diamonds out of frost, turning ice to gold
[Chorus]
Frostbite memories cutting deep in my soul
Frozen tears on window panes, stories untold
Yeah, we're living in a winter wonderland of our own
Where Santa skips the block and leaves us all alone
But we still glow, we still glow
[Outro]
December demons dancing in the street lights
We're the Christmas story they don't write
But our love burns brighter than their fairy lights
