lyrics

When half the fruit left on the tree
Is rotting on the vine
It's tough to tell which ones are good
And hard to want to try
The fallacy of sunken costs
How long I've worked and labored
If all this yields is hate and pain
The fruit has lost its flavor

I haven't felt the Christmas spirit yet
Been stuck here in the year that never ends
I don't believe they'll make it great again
But do believe we'll make it through this mess

I've seen behind the curtain
and the blackness of their hearts
I've felt the pain of knowing
We have drifted far apart
I'm sure it'd be much easier
If I could cease to care
But I can't shake this feeling
That's there's meaning there somewhere

I haven't felt the Christmas spirit yet
Been stuck here in the year that never ends
I don't believe they'll make it great again
But do believe we'll make it through this mess

If nothing else, we still have Christmas
If nothing else, we still have Jesus
And even though the meaning changes
If nothing else, we still have Christmas
