Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She lost the baby, the house nearly burned down
Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now
Watched him pick the pack of smokes out of the bin
This time of year's always been so hard on him
[Verse 2]
Last Christmas at my auntie'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"
[Verse 3]
The family ask 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
[Verse 4]
Watch me go to bed alone this year
There was someone I wanted but
They're no longer here
[Verse 5]
Grow up, girl
It's good for your health
To go to bed sometimes simply holding yourself
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
This Christmas at my auntie's house
I'm gonna try so hard to open up my mouth
And say it loud and hope it's true
Next year won't much easier on you
