SO WRONG
Christmas Hopes Shattered: A Heartfelt Reflection by Antonio Sanders
Lyrics
I hoped that this christmas
I had hoped for a different experience this Christmas compared to the previous one.
Wouldn't be like last year
I wished that this Christmas wouldn't resemble the one from the year before.
Wouldn't need no presents
I didn't expect or require any gifts because I hoped to have you here.
Cause at least you'd be here
My desire was for your presence, which mattered more than material presents.
I was only bout seven
At that time, I was around seven years old.
And knew Santa wasn't real
I was aware that Santa Claus wasn't real.
So I hoped that in the morning
I anticipated that if you were present in the morning, the cookies I left for you would be gone.
The cookies would be gone and
And I hoped it would be because you were there, not because of a fictional character.
It would be you standing still
I wished to see you standing there.
With my presents in your hands
In my imagination, you would have brought gifts for me.
And you had stayed with us instead
I wished that you had spent the time with us instead of being absent.
And that you had chose your family
I hoped you had prioritized our family over others.
Over anyone else
I wanted you to choose to be with us over anyone else.
I thought that maybe you had changed
I believed that perhaps you had transformed or changed your ways.
And that this christmas wouldn't be the same
I hoped that this Christmas would not replicate previous disappointments.
But I was wrong, so wrong
But my hopes were shattered; I was incredibly wrong in assuming you'd be here.
To think that you'd be here with me
I regretted assuming that you'd spend Christmas with me.
This christmas
This Christmas would not have your presence, and that realization was painful.
So wrong, so wrong (oooo)
I was mistaken, deeply mistaken (vocalized as 'oooo').
So wrong, so wrong (oooo)
I was very wrong, profoundly wrong (vocalized as 'oooo').
Wish you had presents in your hands
It would have been nice if you brought gifts for us.
And you had stayed with us instead
I wished you had stayed with us rather than being absent.
And that you had chose your family
I hoped you had prioritized our family over others.
Over anyone else
My desire was for you to choose us above anyone else.
I thought that you had changed
I believed that you might have changed or altered your behavior.
And that this christmas wouldn't be the same
I anticipated that this Christmas would not repeat past disappointments.
But I was wrong (ooo)
But once again, my expectations were shattered (vocalized as 'ooo').
To think that you'd be here with me
I was wrong to assume that you'd spend Christmas with me.
This christmas
This Christmas would not have your presence, and that realization was painful.
