Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You didn't say goodbye
Darlin' I know it's been a long, hard year
And God knows how we tried
We fussed and argued
And pulled the pictures from the walls
Oh
But somehow I never thought
And I don't wanna spend a lonely Christmas
I don't really care who's wrong or right
So please come home
Please come home
'Cause it's not Christmas here without you
It's not Christmas here without you by my side.
There's something- It's making me nostalgic
Is it the lights or all the music
Or the feeling that there's something still to come?
I know we argued
But this time it's been too long
And Darlin' I know it's been a long hard year
But somehow, I never thought Christmas you'd be gone
I don't wanna spend a lonely Christmas
I don't really care who's wrong or right
So please come home
Please come home
'Cause it's not Christmas here without you
It's not Christmas here without you by my side.
So this Christmas morning
Let me be the one you're holding
Can't you see that you're the only thing I need to make the day complete?
Don't know if this makes sense
But holly, tinsel, cards and presents
Wouldn't mean a thing if you were far away from me
I don't wanna spend a lonely Christmas (Oh no)
I don't really care who's wrong or right (Baby, I don't care)
So please come home
Please come home
'Cause it's not Christmas here without you
It's not Christmas here without you by my side.
In these lyrics, the singer expresses feelings of sadness and regret over a recent breakup or separation. The opening lines reveal the pain of being left without a proper goodbye. The reference to a long, hard year suggests that the relationship had been challenging, but they had still tried their best to make it work. The line "fussed and argued" implies that there were conflicts and disagreements, possibly leading to some deterioration of the relationship. However, despite the difficulties, the singer did not anticipate spending Christmas alone without their partner.
The chorus highlights the singer's longing for their partner to come back home for Christmas. They express that they don't care about who was right or wrong in the arguments they had; all they want is to be together again. The repeating plea "please come home" emphasizes the desperation and loneliness they feel without their loved one during the holiday season. The singer emphasizes that Christmas loses its meaning and joy without their partner by their side. It portrays their deep emotional reliance on their lover's presence and the profound impact their absence has on their celebration of the holiday.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on the overall atmosphere of Christmas and how it amplifies their sense of nostalgia. The lights, music, and the anticipation of something more seem to heighten their introspection. Despite acknowledging the arguments and tension they had in the relationship, the singer expresses surprise and sorrow that their partner would not be there for Christmas. The phrase "this time it's been too long" suggests that previous disagreements may have been resolved in the past, but this time it feels like the separation has lasted too long.
In the final verse, the singer pleads with their partner to be with them on Christmas morning. They emphasize that being held by their loved one is the only thing they need to make the day complete. The mentioning of traditional Christmas elements such as holly, tinsel, cards, and presents highlights the contrast between these material things and the essential presence of their partner. The lyrics convey the idea that without their significant other, the holiday loses all its joy and meaning.
Overall, these lyrics reveal the singer's deep longing for their partner's return. They express their sadness over the breakup, their regret over the arguments they had, and their realization that Christmas without their loved one is a hollow and lonely experience. The song combines feelings of nostalgia, longing, and a desire for reconciliation, painting a poignant picture of heartbreak during the holiday season.
Line by Line Meaning
You left me
You departed from my life
You didn't say goodbye
You did not bid farewell
Darlin' I know it's been a long, hard year
My beloved, I am aware that this year has been challenging and strenuous
And God knows how we tried
And the divine power is aware of our efforts
We fussed and argued
We bickered and quarreled
And pulled the pictures from the walls
And removed the images from the walls
Oh
Expressing a sudden realization or emotion
But somehow I never thought
However, in some way, I never anticipated
This Christmas you'd be gone
During this Christmas, you would be absent
And I don't wanna spend a lonely Christmas
And I do not desire to endure a solitary Christmas
I don't really care who's wrong or right
I am indifferent to determining who is correct or mistaken
So please come home
Therefore, I implore you to return home
Please come home
Please come back to me
'Cause it's not Christmas here without you
Because the essence of Christmas is incomplete without your presence
It's not Christmas here without you by my side.
It is not truly Christmas without your companionship.
There's something- It's making me nostalgic
There is an indescribable sentiment that evokes nostalgia within me
Is it the lights or all the music
Perhaps it is the illumination or the melodies
Or the feeling that there's something still to come?
Or the sensation that there is something yet to occur?
I know we argued
I acknowledge that we engaged in disagreements
But this time it's been too long
However, this time has prolonged excessively
And Darlin' I know it's been a long hard year
And my beloved, I am aware that this year has been arduous
But somehow, I never thought Christmas you'd be gone
But in some manner, I never anticipated your absence during Christmas
So this Christmas morning
Therefore, on this Christmas morning
Let me be the one you're holding
Allow me to be the person you embrace
Can't you see that you're the only thing I need to make the day complete?
Are you not able to perceive that you are the sole element I require for the day to be whole?
Don't know if this makes sense
I am uncertain if this is comprehensible
But holly, tinsel, cards, and presents
However, all the traditional Christmas decorations, ornaments, greetings, and gifts
Wouldn't mean a thing if you were far away from me
Would hold no significance if you were distant from my presence
I don't wanna spend a lonely Christmas (Oh no)
I do not desire to experience a solitary Christmas (Oh no)
I don't really care who's wrong or right (Baby, I don't care)
I am indifferent to determining who is correct or mistaken (Darling, I do not mind)
So please come home
Therefore, I implore you to return home
Please come home
Please come back to me
'Cause it's not Christmas here without you
Because the essence of Christmas is incomplete without your presence
It's not Christmas here without you by my side.
It is not truly Christmas without your companionship.
