Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say this empty house just ain't no home when you're gone
Tears on the pillow, eyes out the window
It's like you slowed down time when I'm alone, what are we doin'?
What am I doin' here? Is this slipping away?
Is there nothin' left for us to say?
Did we try? Can we try again?
'Cause I cried, and I cried again
I let you in when you lyin' again
When I'm lovesick, you're toxic
And I'm nauseous 'cause I miss you this Christmas day
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Normally I can take it, I'm not fragile
It's been so long since you've been on my mind
Oh, oh
It hurts the worst 'round Christmas
The loneliness feels different, the loneliness feels different this time
[PostChorus]
Oh, oh
Loneliness feels different this time
Oh, oh
Loneliness feels different
[Verse 2]
See baby, things just ain't the same when you're gone
Let me say I'm not okay, but maybe it's better this way
I laid in the sweater you left here
Rememberin’ Christmas from last year
And every December, the blessings
Keep bringin' the memories back in
I'm all cried out, here's my last tear
'Cause when I'm lovesick, you're toxic
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Normally I can take it, I'm not fragile (Ooh, ooh)
It's been so long since you've been on my mind
Oh, oh (Ooh, ooh)
It hurts the worst 'round Christmas
The loneliness feels different, the loneliness feels different this time (Oh)
[PostChorus]
Oh, oh
Loneliness feels different this time
Oh, oh
Loneliness feels different
Oh, oh
Loneliness feels different this time
Loneliness feels different
