Late December

Is it so much to ask for this to be simple
Is it too much to ask for you to care
Is it this damn hard for us to be civil
When all of the bruises are still there
We’ve both been lied to a thousand times by a million strangers, passing by
Who spoke of love that never came
When all I wanted was just to keep you and make you happy all the time
I guess you could say that I lost your game
'Cause it’s cold in late december when you’ve
Lost your love and you can’t remember what it feels like to smile when you awake
Mornings drag on forever when you wake up and it’s late december
Everyone knows the feeling of heartbreak, but it’s just too much to take
Right now it’s just too much to take
It only hurts when I’m awake
Is this how it feels to lose your best friend
Is this how it feels to be alone
All the lights are on, and I can hear your voice
But it’s a lie 'cause you’re never home
'Cause it’s cold in late december when you’ve
Lost your love and you can’t remember what it feels like to smile when you awake
Mornings drag on forever when you wake up and it’s late december
Everyone knows the feeling of heartbreak
Baby I’m just about to break
It still hurts when I’m awake
It just hurts when I’m awake
