Christmas
Dead Artist Syndrome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We had a separation such a long, long time ago,
I walked away; I know you knew that I thought it was over,
Couldn't play the game, didn't feel much stronger, I only felt pain.

I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas.

A lot of miles have passed, a lot of years have gone,
Everything I knew went cold, not warm,
Never thought that I would turn away,
I knew that you'd wait for me, and say that you love me, but still...

I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas.

Never figured that I'd find myself in this place,
I don't believe you can fall from grace,
And I always knew you'd call me back someday.

I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,




I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm having Christmas outside your house,

Line by Line Meaning

We had a separation such a long, long time ago,
We parted ways a very long time ago,


I walked away; I know you knew that I thought it was over,
I left you, and even though you knew I thought it was done for good,


Couldn't play the game, didn't feel much stronger, I only felt pain.
I couldn't keep pretending things were okay, I was weak and hurting.


A lot of miles have passed, a lot of years have gone,
A lot of time has gone by since we last saw each other,


Everything I knew went cold, not warm,
All the good memories have faded away and left me with only the bad ones.


Never thought that I would turn away,
I never thought I would be the one to leave,


I knew that you'd wait for me, and say that you love me, but still...
I knew you'd wait for me and profess your love, but even then...


Never figured that I'd find myself in this place,

I'm alone on Christmas, standing outside your house,


I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm still outside, in the cold,


I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm still here, wishing things were different,


I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm spending Christmas wishing I was with you,


I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm still here, hoping that you'll come out and invite me in,


I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm spending Christmas alone, outside your house,


I'm having Christmas outside your house,
I'm still waiting, outside your house,


I'm having Christmas.
I'm having a lonely, sad Christmas outside your house, and it hurts.
