She lost the baby, the house nearly burnt down Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now Watched him pick the pack of smokes out of the bin This time of year has always been so hard on him
Last Christmas, at my aunty's house I tried so hard to make my uncle shut his mouth Grandma cried, "Can't this wait? " Drink a cup of juice, try to celebrate
The family asked me to sing 'em all a song Get up in the lounge room while they keep the Tv on Pick a fun one, everybody claps Plates of cold cuts tremble in their laps
Watch me go to bed alone this year There was someone I wanted, but they're no longer here Grow up, girl, it's good for your health To go to bed sometimes simply holding yourself
She lost the baby, the house might still burn down Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now Wanna be there to pick her up off the floor But I've never had to reach this far down before
This Christmas, at my aunty's house I'm gonna try so hard to open up my mouth Say it loud, and hope it's true Next year will be much easier on you
