Careful what you say

 This time of year

 Tends to weaken me

 And have a little decency

 And let me cry in peace

 But there’s a place where I

 Erase the challenges Ive been through

 Where I know every corner

 Every street-name

 all by heart

 And so it is a part of my

 courageous plan to leave

 With a broken heart

 Tucked away under my sleeve

 I wanna go home for Christmas

 Let me go home this year

 I wanna go home for Christmas

 Let me go home this year

 Ill pack my bags

 and leave before the sun rises tomorrow

 Cause we act more like strangers for each day

 That I am here

 But I have people close to me

 Who never will desert me

Who remind me frequently

 What I was like as a child

 And so it is a part of my

 courageous plan to leave

 With a broken heart

 Tucked away under my sleeve

 I wanna go home for Christmas

 Let me go home this year

 I wanna go home for Christmas

 Let me go home this year

 I dont know what my future holds

 or who Ill choose to love me

 But I can tell you where I’m from

 And who loved me to life

 And so it is a part of my

 courageous plan to leave

 With a broken heart

 Tucked away under my sleeve

 I wanna go home for Christmas

 Let me go home this year

 I wanna go home for Christmas

 Let me go home this year
