lyrics

Late November you left me
you'd not much to say
just gave me a sad smile and then drove away.
And now it's December on Christmas Eve day
I'm hiding from Christmas this year.

Fare thee well
Fare thee well
The first Christmas without you is a frostbitten hell.
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
I'm hiding from Christmas this year.

A year has gone by,
strings of lights paint the sky.
Time has been rough but I'm still getting by.
Watching families embrace still make me want to cry
so I'm passing on Christmas this year

Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Time heals all wounds but how long it won't tell
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
I'm passing on Christmas this year.

This year I've met someone, they brighten each day
but I recall how much harder December is made
for those whose year has been hopelessly shrouded in gray
and are hiding from Christmas this year.

Fare thee well
Fare thee well
To those who are lonely, heartbroken as well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
if you're hiding from Christmas this year.

Fare thee well
Fare thee well
To those who don't wish all the well-wishers well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
as you're hiding from Christmas this year.
