Careful what you say
This time of year
tends to weaken me
Have a little decency
And let me cry in peace
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
Let me go home
for Christmas
Let me come 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
Let me go home
for Christmas
Let me come home
this year
I don't know what
my future holds
Or who will 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
Let me go home
for Christmas
Let me come home
this year
I wanna go home
for Christmas
Let me go home
this year
Let me go home
for Christmas
Let me come home
this year
