She lost the baby, the house nearly burned down
Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now
Watched him pick the pack of smokes out of the bin
This time of year has always been so hard on him

Last Christmas at my auntie's house
I tried so hard to make my uncle shut his mouth

Grandma cried
Can't this wait
Drink a cup of juice
Try to celebrate

The family asked me to sing 'em all a song
Get up in the lounge and while they keep the TV on
'Pick a fun one', everybody claps
Played to cold cuts, trembling their laps

Watch me go to bed alone this year
There was someone I wanted but they're no longer here

Grow up, girl
It's good for your health
To go in the bed sometimes
Simply holding yourself

She lost the baby, the house might still burn down
Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now
Wanna be there to pick her up off the floor
But I've never had to reach this far down before

This Christmas at my auntie's house
I'm gonna try so hard to open up my mouth

Say it loud
And hope it's true
Next year will be
Much easier on you
