Lonely This Christmas

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That s where I'll be since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do without you?
I've got no place, no place to go
It'll be lonely this Christmas
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
I just break down as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas tree
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
You remember last year when you and I were here
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that Christmas
Must have been made for us
'Cause darling, this is the time of year
That you really, you really need love
When it means so very, very much
(It'll be lonely this Christmas)
So it ll be lonely this Christmas
(Without you to hold) without you to hold
(It'll be lonely this Christmas)
It ll be so very lonely this Christmas
(Lonely and cold) lonely and cold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are
The lyrics to Mud's Lonely This Christmas paint a portrait of a man who is very lonely during the holiday season. After his significant other left him, he has no one to share Christmas with, and the emptiness and loneliness appear even more prominent in his life than ever. The imagery in the song suggests that Christmas is not really Christmas without his partner's affection and love. Instead, the holiday season has become a cold and empty experience for him, without any warmth, energy, or hope for the future.
As the song progresses, the artist reminisces about how he used to enjoy Christmas with his lover, remembering the warmth of those experiences, and acknowledging it's much colder and lonelier without them. He also becomes heartbroken as he recalls the day his lover left him, leaving nothing but an empty home and a tragic sense of loneliness. Despite the sadness, he wishes his partner a Merry Christmas, wherever she may be.
Line by Line Meaning
Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Think of a place where you reside, but it doesn't feel welcoming or comfortable
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
Picture spending the holiday season without any loved ones or company
That s where I'll be since you left me
I will be in a place of loneliness and sadness after you departed from my life
My tears could melt the snow
My sorrow runs deep and my tears are abundant, enough to even thaw the frozen snow
What can I do without you?
I am lost and unsure of how to carry on with my life in your absence
I've got no place, no place to go
I have nowhere to go and no one to turn to, I am all alone
It'll be lonely this Christmas
The Christmas period will be a bleak and solitary affair
Without you to hold
Without the comfort of your embrace
Lonely and cold
Desolate and icy, without any warmth or companionship
Each time I remember the day you went away
Whenever I reminisce about the day you left me
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
And how I would sit and attentively listen to your words
I just break down as I look around
I become overwhelmed with emotion as I survey my surroundings
And the only things I see
What I can perceive with my eyes
Are emptiness and loneliness
Are the feeling of nothingness and seclusion
And an unlit Christmas tree
The only decoration present is a dark, unlit Christmas tree
You remember last year when you and I were here
Can you recall when we were together last year?
We never thought there'd be an end
We never anticipated the eventual demise of our relationship
And I remember looking at you then
I recall gazing at you with fondness during that time
And I remember thinking that Christmas
At that moment, I thought to myself that Christmas
Must have been made for us
Was meant solely for our enjoyment and happiness
'Cause darling, this is the time of year
My dearest, this particular period in the year
That you really, you really need love
Is when you truly require love and affection
(It'll be lonely this Christmas)
(The Christmas period will be a bleak and solitary affair)
So it ll be lonely this Christmas
Therefore, it will be lonely this Christmas
(Without you to hold) without you to hold
(Without the comfort of your embrace) absent of your comforting touch
(It'll be lonely this Christmas)
(The Christmas period will be a bleak and solitary affair)
It ll be so very lonely this Christmas
It will be an extremely lonesome Christmas
(Lonely and cold) lonely and cold
(Desolate and icy, without any warmth or companionship) bleak and wintry
Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are
Happy Christmas to you, my dear, wherever you may be

Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That's where I'll be
Since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do
Without you
I've got no place, no place to go
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
I just break down, as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas Tree
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
You remember last year, when you and I were together
We never thought there'd be an end

And I remember thinking that Christmas must have been made for us
'Cause darlin', this is the time that you really need love
When it means so very very much
So it'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be so very lonely
Lonely and cold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
Merry Christmas darlin', wherever you are
