All of My Decembers
December's Melancholy: Unwrapping Heartbreak in Amanda Fagan's Song
Lyrics
Why did I have to invite you to her party this past October
Expressing regret about inviting someone to a party in October.
Now every time I wanna hangout, you say you can't because she's over at your house
Frustration that plans are often disrupted due to the presence of someone else.
Tell me what's that about
Seeking an explanation for the changed dynamics and constant company of the third person.
Guess three is really a crowd
Acknowledging the challenge and discomfort of a trio, suggesting a third person is causing issues.
I miss when it was just us two
Nostalgia for a time when the speaker and the listener had a closer, more exclusive connection.
Now December's rolled around and you're nowhere to be found
Feeling abandoned or ignored during the holiday season (December).
Why did I have to introduce her to you
Regretting introducing the third person to the listener.
I thought you'd be great friends but now you call her every night
Disappointment that the listener has developed a close relationship with the introduced person.
You're both making all of these plans and I never get an invite
Frustration over being excluded from plans made by the listener and the introduced person.
What about all that we had
Questioning the significance of the past shared between the speaker and the listener.
It's like you can't seem to remember
Expressing a sense of being forgotten or neglected by the listener.
Just know that if you stayed, I would have given you all of my Decembers
Promise that if the listener stayed, the speaker would have committed to a long-term relationship.
All of my Decembers
Reiteration of the commitment to a long-term relationship, emphasizing the importance of December.
Every time I open my phone there's pictures of you both at some Christmas party
Observation of pictures of the listener and the introduced person at a Christmas party, causing emotional pain.
Why do you have to rub salt into the wound
Expressing discomfort with the listener's actions and the impact on the speaker.
You could at least try to hide it from me
Requesting discretion or sensitivity from the listener about the new relationship.
I thought you'd be great friends but now you call her every night
Reiteration of the disappointment caused by the listener's close relationship with the introduced person.
You're both making all of these plans and I never get an invite
Repeating the feeling of exclusion from plans made by the listener and the introduced person.
What about all that we had
Revisiting the importance of the past shared between the speaker and the listener.
It's like you can't seem to remember
Reiteration of the perception that the listener has forgotten the shared past.
Just know that if you stayed, I would have given you all of my Decembers
Reassuring the listener of a committed relationship if they had stayed.
All of my Decembers
Repeating the commitment to a long-term relationship, emphasizing the importance of December.
So I guess I'll walk home alone in the snow
Acceptance of loneliness, walking home alone in the snow during December.
All the Christmas lights don't shine as bright as your eyes
Comparing the brightness of Christmas lights to the listener's eyes, suggesting emotional significance.
I'll leave your present in my drawer
Deciding to keep a present intended for the listener, as they may no longer appreciate it.
You wouldn't want it anymore
Suspecting the listener's disinterest in the speaker's gifts or gestures.
I always thought that you'd be mine
Expressing a belief or expectation that the listener would be in a lasting relationship with the speaker.
At least you're having a good time
Recognizing the listener's enjoyment, even if it is at the expense of the speaker's feelings.
I thought you'd be great friends but now you call her every night
Reiterating the disappointment caused by the listener's close relationship with the introduced person.
You're both making all of these plans and I never get an invite
Repeating the feeling of exclusion from plans made by the listener and the introduced person.
What about all that we had
Revisiting the importance of the past shared between the speaker and the listener.
It's like you can't seem to remember
Reiteration of the perception that the listener has forgotten the shared past.
Just know that if you stayed, I would have given you all of my Decembers
Reassuring the listener of a committed relationship if they had stayed.
So I guess I'll walk home alone in the snow (All of my Decembers)
Repeating the acceptance of loneliness, walking home alone in the snow during December.
All the Christmas lights don't shine as bright (All of my Decembers) as your eyes
Comparing the brightness of Christmas lights to the listener's eyes, suggesting emotional significance (repeated).
What about all that we had

It's like you can't seem (All of my Decembers) to remember

Reassuring the listener of a committed relationship if they had stayed (repeated).
