I wake up, look at the paper
And I can’t believe the news
The shops are closed, the roads are covered
And I’ve got no good excuse
Well, I came unprepared
But I’ll prove that I care
I forgot to buy you a present
So I wrote this song instead
Well, I made it for you
Only took me a few
'Cause I wrote it in my head
I forgot it was Christmas
An empty space below the branches
Of a brand new plastic tree
Ran down the stairs on Christmas morning
But there’s nothing there from me
So you took off the star
And you left me a scar
I forgot to buy you a present so I wrote this song instead
Well, I made it for you, only took me a few
'Cause I wrote it in my head, I forgot it was Christmas
I forgot it was Christmas
I’m sorry, it’s Christmas
Forgot everything on your wish list
I promise next year won’t be like this
Isn’t this the time of forgiveness?
Can’t believe that you dumped me on Christmas
Just because I forgot her gift
Now I’m marking the spot on the day I forgot
Who’d have known it’s the twenty-fifth?
I forgot it was Christmas
I forgot it was Christmas
Can’t believe that it’s Christmas
All alone and it’s Christmas
I forgot it was Christmas
