One Last Christmas
Redemption in Melancholy: One Last Christmas Tale
Lyrics
The snow crunches underfoot
The sensation of snow crunching under my feet as I approach.
As I walk up to your door
Arriving at your doorstep.
And I realize this face of mine's been ravaged for the longest time
Realizing my face has suffered for a long time.
You might not recognize me anymore
You might not recognize me due to the changes.
But, darlin', it's your daddy
Addressing the person as "darling," indicating a paternal relationship.
Please forgive me for what I've done
Asking for forgiveness for past actions.
I know you despise the tears that lines the fear that holds them in inside
Acknowledging that tears are visible, reflecting inner fear.
I'm sorry, I was wrong
Expressing regret for being wrong.
Just give me one last Christmas
Pleading for one final Christmas together.
I'll make it up to you
Promising to make amends.
Sadness is a friend of mine
Admitting familiarity with sadness due to past failures.
I've let you down a million times
Recognizing numerous occasions of letting the person down.
Give me one last Christmas with you
Begging for a last Christmas with the person.
I know I don't deserve it
Accepting unworthiness of forgiveness.
If I was you, I'd slam the door
Understanding the inclination to reject.
We paid the cost for the things we lost, I blew up all the lines I crossed
Admitting the consequences of past actions and mistakes.
'Cause I don't come 'round here anymore
Expressing absence due to past actions.
Give me one last Christmas
Repeating the plea for a final Christmas together.
I'll make it up to you
Reiterating the intention to make things right.
Sadness is a friend of mine
Re-emphasizing familiarity with sadness.
I've let you down a million times
Reaffirming the history of letting the person down.
Give me one last Christmas with you
Repeating the request for a last Christmas together.
Darlin', I know I hurt you bad
Acknowledging the hurt caused to the person.
And I don't deserve your kindness or fuse
Recognizing unworthiness of kindness or forgiveness.
I left your mother to be a father too
Admitting abandonment of responsibilities.
And I realize I lost my life when I walked out on you
Realizing the personal loss due to actions taken.
Give me one last Christmas
Repeating the plea for a final Christmas together.
I'll make it up to you
Reiterating the promise to make amends.
Sadness is a friend of mine
Restating familiarity with sadness and regret.
I've let you down a million times
Admitting repeated letdowns.
Give me one last Christmas with you
Repeating the request for a last Christmas together.
Just give me one last Christmas
Reiterating the plea for a final Christmas.
I'll make it up to you
Repeating the promise to make amends.
Sadness is a friend of mine
Reaffirming familiarity with sadness and regret.
I've let you down a million times
Acknowledging numerous letdowns.
Give me one last Christmas with you
Requesting one last Christmas together.
