Last Christmas Eve

Last Christmas Eve, I hoped you'd stay
But during the night, you walked away
This year, I'll face my fears
And leave behind the wasted tears
I gave my all, you turned so cold
Your empty words, a lie retold
Tell me now, how did I fall?
I thought we had it, after all
I sent a card, wrote down my heart
But you tore it up and broke it apart
Now I see who you really are
No more wishes on a falling star
Last Christmas Eve, I hoped you'd stay
But during the night, you walked away
This year, I'll face my fears
And leave behind the wasted tears
Empty streets with shimmering lights
But your shadow haunts me every night
I gave you trust, you let it fade
A gift I thought you'd never trade
Your touch was warm, your smile was kind
But I was blind to your colder side
Now I've learned, love's not a game
I'll find someone who feels the same
The fire burns, but I've moved on
No more waiting for a love that's gone
Now I know what a fool I've been
But I won't let you in again
Last Christmas Eve, I hoped you'd stay
But during the night, you walked away
This year, I'll face my fears
And leave behind the wasted tears
A face in the crowd, I don't look back
The strings are cut, no more attack
I'll find a love that's truly true
No empty promises, no more of you
Last Christmas Eve, I hoped you'd stay
But during the night, you walked away
This year, I'll face my fears
And leave behind the wasted tears
This Christmas Eve, the stars will shine
A brighter path, this heart is mine
With open arms, I'll start anew
And find a love that's pure and true
