Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Things can get so bad I know, but things could always be worse
There's a blessing tucked inside of each and every curse
You could be a selfish fool and somehow not be selfish enough
Your glass could be half full, but you've already drank way too much
[Verse 2]
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life
[Verse 3]
Oh, how humor you burst the bubble of all our hidden pain
Oh, how humor, you clever mother, you're keeping everybody sane
Oh, how laughter you make us bastards feel some kind of joy
Like a golden token we find we're not broken like some cheap little toys
[Verse 4]
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
[Verse 5]
Time's so fleeting, I hope that you're reading everything in between the lines
Life can have meaning, if you keep dreaming all the way through the days and the nights
I saw you cry a little in the middle of a story you once told
You're a thing of beauty, and we're all rooting for you not to fold
[Verse 6]
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
