He was too young to fall apart
It was too soon to meet a broken heart
Left all alone and so afraid
If you looked back, for him, you might have stayed
He had no clue why you had gone
He waited up for far too long
He didn't know if he had faults
There were no words and no adults
He was left alone to ask
Could you not have chosen Christmas Day
As a time to turn and walk away?
Did you know your damage brought a life to no tomorrows sought
No happy holidays just painful trips back to that place
Could you not not have chosen Christmas Day?
Could you simply not have turned away?
You could have tried much harder and maybe just forgiven her
You could have been a father to him that Christmas Day
So all his years of life went on
Though he had friends, he still felt all alone
Living out days afraid and lost
He tried his best with smiles he would exhaust
He stopped to care why you had gone
It carried on for far too long
All that he did, to you, were faults
To harsh the words, still no adults
Still left all alone to ask
Could you not have chosen Christmas Day
As a time to turn and walk away?
Did you know your damage brought a life to no tomorrows sought
No happy holidays just painful trips back to that place
Could you not not have chosen Christmas Day?
Could you simply not have turned away?
You could have tried much harder and maybe just forgiven her
You could have been a father to him that Christmas Day
