Acoustic Hearts of Winter cover
11. Not This Year
Album: Acoustic Hearts of Winter
Artist: Aly and AJ
         
 

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

[Chorus]
It's not snow, its 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 this time

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus 2x)
