Where are you now?
I can't tell how long it's been
Since I laid eyes on you
And I don't know when I'll get to again
My heart is broken down
On the shoulder of the wanted
I tried to make it
But I'm not gonna make it

No, I won't be home for Christmas
Baby, tell me nothing's changed
In your heart, you feel the same
Who created all this distance?
And I know you're missing me
I don't know where I'll be
But I won't be home for Christmas
No, I won't be home for Christmas

I'm wondering now
I let you down just to do it again
An empty chair and a present with your name on it
What's left to say?
I'm the only one here to blame
I tried to make it
But I'm not gonna make it

No, I won't be home for Christmas
Baby, tell me nothing's changed
In your heart, you feel the same
Who created all this distance?
And I know you're missing me
I don't know where I'll be
But I won't be home for Christmas
No, I won't be home for Christmas
