Melanie Aolani - String Lights Lyrics

The room grows colder every night
I know I shouldn't but it feels right
To stay under
The fireplace has gone out
The fairy lights don't give me comfort
In the thoughts I'd rather leave

But I know it's Christmas so I can't complain
About the things I face every single day
It's a lot to ask for but I wish you'd stay
So give me one last gift before I fade away

It's always warmer to stay inside
Wrap me up with all the lies
I tell myself
Tangled up in stringing lights
I thought it'd make my spirits bright
But I'm afraid that they've gone dim

But I know it's Christmas so I can't complain
About the things I face every single day
It's a lot to ask for but I wish you'd stay
So give me one last gift before I fade away

And my heart is aching knowing I'll never feel the same
But it's all alright because no one else is to blame
It's almost over but I can't look away
I wish that you could stay another day

But I know it's Christmas so I can't complain
About the things I face every single day
It's a lot to ask for but I wish you'd stay
So give me one last gift before I fade away
