A Cold Little Bear, An Old Little Boy
I'm empty like a drum
And cold like an Empty One
Why did you steal me?
All of me escapes
Into your warm embrace
Cue the solar eclipse
I watched you
As you stood up and took a bow
And walked out of my life
Ran out of my life
I'm a zombie, undead
You said I was golden
You forced me to go black
I'm living my little white lie
Showing up and smiling
Crying inside
Absorbing the music
And writing so loud
Are you like me?
Do you not notice anything?
I must be insane
To think you wanted me back
I bet I am
Let's go get the autumn leaves
Peel them off the frozen street
And let them carry me out of reality
Little boy handing me a bear
Grown up boy handing me heartbreak
When did you change?
When did this little bear
Change into my only link to the old you
This isn't fun
Being alone at Christmas
This peppermint winter is so cold
And not very sweet
What's December without Christmas Eve?
What's Christmas without you?
Joyful turned joyless
I fall into the snow
Letting it all go to waste
The cold never bothered me anyway
