Alone This Holiday (Recorded for KROQ Christmas Album) - The Used

"Christmas Holiday" (Craig Smith) Hear the bells ringing Their ting-a-ling sound. See the fresh snow, It's white on the ground. Hang up the stockings and Let's have a holiday, today. Bring out the holly, we mustn't delay! 'Cause all of our friends will be stopping today. Warm the hot chocolate And bring out the marshmallow tray. This year, we shall know a wonderful Christmas And the glow of candlelight Let's have a fling! I'll give you my present, a wedding ring! Hear me sing. Turkey's a-cookin' and candy cane sticks, With reindeer and sleigh bells and good old Saint Nick Two kids sneakin' kisses beneath all the mistletoe, As if we didn't know! This year, we shall know a wonderful Christmas And the glow of candlelight Let's have a fling! I'll give you my present, a wedding ring! Hear me sing. Yuletide, good cheer! Christmas is here. This one, we'll share, We haven't a care. It's Christmas! Such a very Merry Christmas! Extraordinary Christmastime is here!

The trees are sparkly and gold But inside I feel so cold So soon as you leave the North Pole Santa won't you come and make him mine this Christmas Santa's gonna come and make him mine this Christmas Santa's gonna come and make him mine, mine Santa's gonna come and make him mine this Christmas Santa's gonna come and make him mine, mine (Jump Smokers) Santa, if you get this letter won't you help me out I know you're kinda busy with your elves right now And I don't know how You do the things you do while I sleep on Christmas Eve But it's amazing And I bet that you could bring me back my baby Because every time I see Christmas lights I feel this burn inside and I just can't take it I saw them shopping last week And his new girl was so bleak And then I swore to myself Santa's gonna come and make him mine this Christmas night Ho, ho, ho Santa's gonna come and make you mine this Christmas Santa's gonna come and make you mine, ho, ho, ho Santa's gonna come and make you mine, mine, mine I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don't care about presents Underneath the Christmas tree I don't need to hang my stocking There upon the fireplace Santa Claus won't make me happy With a toy on Christmas day I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you... You baby Ho ho ho Ho ho ho The trees are sparkly and gold But inside I feel so cold So soon as you leave the North Pole Santa won't you come and make him mine this Christmas All I want for Christmas is You...

This feeling never leaves you alone You pull the trigger on your own You're hiding in your safe place, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Now will you ever rest your head? You end up feeling mostly dead Pretending you're the last one, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars It never used to hurt before It isn't funny anymore Feeling so alone now, funny how you wish some way that you could die at the hospital You're quiet on the car ride home You're waiting for your head to explode You're hiding in your safe place, hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars (Before I close) before I close my eyes, I'm gonna give it up (Take off my mask) take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars Will you look them in the face? Could you look me in the face? Three cheers, you fooled them all (come on, hip hip hooray!) Three cheers, you fooled them all (come on, hip hip hooray) Hip hip hooray! Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all Take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars (Before I close) before I close my eyes, I'm gonna give it up (Take off my mask) take off my mask, and leave the lies to the liars Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey! (Leave the lies to the liars) (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Leave the lies to the liars Hey! Hey! Hey!

Late night phone rings I can hear the whiskey in your talk Say you want a little company Oh but I know what you really want And I can get there quick enough I've already got one foot out the door We both know this ain't love But that ain't ever stopped this thing before Hey I could get used used used I'm used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it And I don't mind you dragging this heart around My head is so high I never wanna come down Hey I could get used used used to being used by you Melt into the candlelight And drown in a bottle of wine So lost in your eyes That I lose track of time And I know when the morning comes And I'm on my way back home I still have a good buzz That should last me til the next time you call I could get used used used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it And I don't mind you dragging this heart around My head is so high I never wanna come down oh Hey I could get used used used to being used by you I could get used used used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it I could get used used used to being used by you you you The pain's so good That I don't ever wanna lose it My head is so high I never wanna come down oh Hey I could get used used used to being used by you
