This Year I'll Just Survive(lyrics)

lyrics
(Verse 1)
The boxes are all labeled "Xmas," sitting in the hall
I haven't got the strength to put the lights upon the wall
The smell of pine is in the air, but it makes me feel sick
Of all the cheerful memories that are coming back so quick
Everyone is planning their parties, their gifts, their holiday cheer
I'm just planning on how to make it through this painful time of year
(Chorus)
This year I'll just survive, I won't pretend to thrive
I'll just keep the engine running, barely alive
I won't hang a single stocking, won't tie a single bow
I'll just watch the sad world pass me by in a quiet, frozen slow
No strength left for the magic, no energy for the drive
This year, this sad, long December, I'll just survive
(Verse 2)
I used to bake the cookies, the ones you loved so much
The ginger snap and cinnamon, a soft and loving touch
Now the kitchen's just a space of cold and empty air
Another room that highlights that you're no longer there
I’ll turn my phone on silent, ignore the calls and texts
Avoid the well-meant greetings and what’s coming up next
(Chorus)
This year I'll just survive, I won't pretend to thrive
I'll just keep the engine running, barely alive
I won't hang a single stocking, won't tie a single bow
I'll just watch the sad world pass me by in a quiet, frozen slow
No strength left for the magic, no energy for the drive
This year, this sad, long December, I'll just survive
(Bridge)
(Music swells slightly with a cello adding depth and a sense of resigned sorrow. No sudden peaks, just steady sadness.)
They say you have to lean in, feel the pain to let it go
But I’m just treading water in an ocean of the snow
If I can just make it to January, maybe I can breathe
Escape the silent heartbreak that the holidays still weave
(Chorus)
This year I'll just survive, I won't pretend to thrive
I'll just keep the engine running, barely alive
I won't hang a single stocking, won't tie a single bow
I'll just watch the sad world pass me by in a quiet, frozen slow
No strength left for the magic, no energy for the drive
This year, this sad, long December, I'll just survive
