Texty: Aly & AJ. Acoustic Hearts of Winter. Not This Year.

This Christmas card is so contrived
A mannequin looks more alive
Haven't meant a word, I've written here
The page is full, not one thing sincere

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't take it
This is the time to smile, I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now to break it down

It's not snow, it's rain coming down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year, not this year, not this year

When I look into the mirror
No happiness is present here
Not supposed to whine, not supposed to cry
Try to hold it in but not at this time

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't take it
This is the time to smile, I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now to break it down

It's not snow, it's rain coming down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer, not this year
Not this year, not this year

Don't know, don't know if you can hear me
I will, I will speak louder for you
No more whispering, are you listening?
I am pleading, I am pleading

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't take it
This is the time to smile, I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now to break it down

It's not snow, it's rain coming down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year, not this year, I can't, I can't

It's not snow, it's rain coming down
And the lights are cool but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year, not this year
Not this year, not this year
