Lyrics
Your love is a pretense
Now I see it clearly
I’ve got a box of evidence
Of how you feel about me
It’s full of broken bells and things
You should have taken more care
What good’s a fairy without wings
This Christmas tree looks so bare

You trashed my Christmas
You broke my heart at Christmas

Your love is a pretense
Now I see it clearly
I’ve got a box of evidence
Of how you feel about me
The decorations are all smashed

You should have taken more care
And Santa’s sleigh looks like it’s crashed
This Christmas tree looks so bare

You trashed my Christmas
You broke my heart at Christmas

(You trashed my) Christmas
