Cold december nights like this make me really scared You're not really there And my tree is really bare Another lonely night No gifts, no toys underneath my tree Can this really be I'm singing christmas carols And there's no christmas for me Why aren't you next to me Celebrating christmas Why can't you see what hurts so bad How can you go without paying mind to my sorrow You can't imagine How I feel on this cold december night The stars shine bright as the night air And the thought of you not being here Makes me shed a tear And yet matters remain unclear About why you're gone Or if you'll ever return to this broken heart Life is so torn apart And God knows, lord knows where I need to start re-building

Started the tour out in Denver, Colorado I made the first one but I did not make the second show Yeah, uh It's safe to say I been this way since I was 18 The same night I fall in love, I feel it fading Who can you love, who can you trust now that you're mainstream? Don't want no love, don't got no trust, I feel me changin' (yeah) Sometimes I think about my high school sweetheart (oh-oh-oh) But times change, people change and grow apart I fell so hard and fast for Dee, I wanna start a family (family) She show resentment, she got pregnant, and she felt abandoned (oh-oh-oh) That shit with what's-her-namе was faster than I had planned it (oh-oh-oh) She movеd away from San Diego, livin' in Miami (Miami) We caught a flight to Puerto Rico, she was sweet as candy (candy) She just ain't know she had my heart before the plane landed (yeah) And by the time I got home (oh-oh-oh), I just wanted to be alone I met Brianna through Kearra, they were the best of friends (oh, oh-oh-oh) She turned her head, and we moved up just like the Jeffersons (yeah) I need your all each and every day (oh), if I can't then I'll fade And I don't mean to rush, but I easily fall in love (yeah) Uh, in my head I know that that ain't right But I believe in first sight, yeah We can fall in love right here tonight Run away and be together for life No more cold Decembers, lonely cold Decembers No Decembers, lonely cold Decembers (yeah) No more Decembers, lonely cold Decembers (yeah) Cold Decembers (yeah), lonely cold Decembers, yeah Mmm (grrah), yeah Uh, uh-uh, yeah Uh, uh, uh-uh, yeah But I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name I guess you could say that my love life was not up to par Too many nights alone had left some permanent scars She told me she'd love me and I told her that I'd do the same Then I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name Then I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name I brought it on myself and I guess that I shouldn't complain Doc said, "Son, you can't do anymore of that cocaine"

Hard to make it through the winter, ah Air's gettin' thinner Where have you been through my cold Decembers Well you know this December is coming You're still runnin' (you're still runnin') Yeah, tell me though where you from Baby don't treat this like nothin' Yeah, please give me something I been waiting for this moment Last winter, yeah that one was the coldest, yeah (Cold) (So cold, so cold, oh)

I was 11 days old They found me dead in the forest Down by a source on the first of December My name is Gideon Grace And by a mysterious wonder I came back to life under skies burned like amber Life is calling my name Pouring impure daylight in my eyes And I run into the sunlight On a dark eternal lane To the rough St. Malo seaside From a cold December night I was 11 years old Deep in my heart it was winter Many strokes shattered my skin And my soul was aching I'm the king of broken world And I had to shield my angel Ivy Every day hurts us but still we're not breaking They burn down children's heaven And see the fiery ashes of our skies floating down So we run into the sunlight On a dark eternal lane From the rough St. Malo seaside On a cold December night We were starring in a new life While still running from the pain To seek and hide away forever On the day before she died And so I'm leaving The place called suicide playground Where children die On the monster's lullaby Who stole the light from the orphan asylum The sangrail-thieves of the night They never bring back the soulshine again Sweet oblivion Come, erase my memories That keep the wolves outside And all these silent cries in my mind Under the moon that pales all the colours of my soul Only our dreams held us alive But most of the dreams went out with the light How many hearts broke in the night And how many tears before we die And so we run and so we run And so we're running for our lives And we run into the sunlight On a dark eternal lane From the rough St. Malo seaside On a cold December night
