It's not my fault, It wasn't up to you. Christmas eve comes once a year And that will never do. Your image started fading, I closed my eyes to see. Tell me do you close your eyes for me? Now your door seems half a world away, The price of gasoline is more than i can pay. Plus i don't have a car I can call my very own, I guess i'll spend another night alone. If i could say that i'm sorry, Who would i say it to? Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you. You know it's true. Should i say too bad, or so what? What's appropriate? should i show it? Call you on the phone and let you know it? Back at my house there's nothing on tv, The bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me. I watched you from a distance, For too briefly held you close, I guess that's just the way this story goes.
