Alone for the Holidays
Solitude Amidst Festivities: Alone for the Holidays
Lyrics
She said she always loved this time of year
Expresses her fondness for this time of year
And how they used to celebrate when he was here
Recalls past celebrations with someone significant
Then he went away and nothing more to say
Reflects on the silence after he departed
He's not coming home
Confirms he won't return
She's gonna be alone for the holidays
Anticipates being alone during the holidays
She wrote down every word in her diary
Documents memories in her diary
She reads it now and then
Periodically revisits the diary entries
To remind her of how it used to be
Uses the diary to remember the past joy
He's not here today, there's nothing more to say
Emphasizes his absence today with no more words
He's not coming home
Reiterates he won't be returning
She's gonna be alone for the holidays
Foresees solitude during the holidays
She cries all night on Christmas Eve
Expresses sorrow on Christmas Eve
She just gets by on Christmas day
Marks the struggle to get through Christmas day
She's lost her will but kept her faith
Notes the loss of motivation but persistence in faith
But he's not coming home
Reiterates he won't return on Christmas
She's gonna be alone for the holidays
Accepts the prospect of being alone during the holidays
She cries all night on New Year's Eve
Highlights emotional distress on New Year's Eve
She just gets by on New Year's Day
Survives through New Year's Day
She's lost her will but kept her faith
Acknowledges the internal struggle but maintains faith
He's never coming home
Declares his permanent absence
She's gonna be alone alone for the holidays
Emphasizes enduring loneliness during the holidays
