Christmas Wishes if you're gonna break my heart just break it: smash it like an ornament that falls from shaky branch on the tree to explode in shards upon the floor-- Trying to fix the broken causes fingers to bleed. Like an ornament, I am fragile, I'm not made out of steel; but I need more hours with you. And yet, don't want to be just another ex-love you don't wanna see. 27 blocks to go-- Feel years and miles away. All I want to know is you love me now and I feel the same way I always did; always have. Baby, I still see you. Everywhere I go I see your face. Like Baby Shark. you ear worm on repeat I got this feeling in my bones, an insistant beat of drums, and it reverberates. Almost to your place, I see the wreath I made you hanging on your door. Please, play me close. Keep me closer still. What's the point of looking like a princess if you can't see me. Remember when once you said 'This is perfect?' We weren't, but we were damn good together. I was so surprised when you called. So happy. So scared. Don't want to be just some dollar store ornament hanging on your arm this Christmas. I want to be the shining star atop your branches. You're running out of time and I'm almost out of glue. if you're gonna break my heart just break it: I'm not made out of steel I need more hours with you just another ex-love you don't wanna see you love me now and I feel the same way 27 blocks to go everywhere I go I see your face Baby Shark I got this feeling in my bones Baby, I still see you. looking like a princess play me close this is perfect you're running out of time |
