Careful what you say
this time of year
tends to weaken me
And have a little decency
and let me cry in peace
But there's a place where I erase
the challenges I've been through
where I know every corner
every street-name all by heart
And so it is a part of my
courageous plan to leave
with a broken heart tucked
away under my sleeve
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I'll pack my bags and leave
before the sun rises tomorrow
cause we act more like strangers for each day
that I am here
But I have people close to me
who never will desert me
who remind me frequently
what I was like as a child
And so it is a part of my
courageous plan to leave
with a broken heart tucked
away under my sleeve
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I don't know what my future holds
or who I'll choose to love me
but I can tell you where I'm from
and who loved me to life
And so it is a part of my
courageous plan to leave
with a broken heart tucked
away under my sleeve
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home for Christmas
Let me go home this year
I wanna go home this Christmas
Let me go home this year
