You're feeling down
And there's no one around who can see
But you keep your head up high
Little sister's running around with candy

And you don't
Wanna suffer your pride so you shut up
While your mommy's crying loud
Daddy's decorating the wall
And the christmas tree

it's the worst of days
so you lay down in your bed

And oh, Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
It's a shame what you have with your family affair but still
Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
Was a dream that you had but a dream that has passed away

Your house was made
Of blood and tears you wanna pray
From the opera
But you got no money to escape
from tragedy

Bad luck girl
Your daddy's here again he's got his anger
and way too drunk to speak
So he can't understand your misery at all

It's the worst of days
And we hope that he fades away

But oh, Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
It's a shame that we have with a family affairs but still

Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
And the dream that we had was a dream but the worst of days
That could have been good.
