Lyric

Half a life is all I need tonight

Half my wallet, half a piece of pie

The city sparkles, couples hand in hand

Their little moments make me sigh

The lights are dazzling, but my shadow’s near

Flashes on my eyelids, makes it clear

Even reindeer on the street, I just groan

“Next year, I’ll have venison on my own”

A lonely, lonely Christmas night

I toast with cheap wine from the store

Frozen chicken wings instead of the feast

Here’s to this simple night, nothing more

A lonely, lonely Christmas song

String lights on my bonsai glow

I kinda love this quirky me

“Next year, revenge!” I vow, you know

Half is enough? That’s a lie

I want all the whipped cream piled high

My little tree’s a bonsai in place

Dollar store lights, but still, it’s ace

Turn on the TV, love story plays

“Sure, sure, happiness always stays”

Inside my heart, applause rings loud

But really? I toss the remote in the crowd

A lonely, lonely Christmas night

I order a medium pizza, coupon forgotten

Little setbacks, but that’s life alright

Even solo, I’m not downtrodden

A lonely, lonely Christmas song

Shower room karaoke, I sing along

With heavy reverb, I belt it out strong

Santa might even run along

Sometimes I think, this night’s not so bad

No one to bother me, no one to add

Unlimited chicken, just me and my delight

Turns out, solo’s kinda alright

A lonely, lonely Christmas night

Smiling at myself, and that’s all right

Next year, maybe with someone new

But for now, this is enough too

A lonely, lonely Christmas song

Stay up late, no one’s keeping score

I gift myself some love tonight

“Good job, keep going,” I adore

Half a life is all I need tonight

But Christmas alone feels just right

Even solo, I’m happy, you see

I wink at myself, my own VIP
