Last Christmas Should've Been the End (03:12)

It was cold January,
Hot cocoa and mistletoe berries,
Takin' down the old Christmas tree
And fading promises of New year's Eve.

We promised to work together,
Stay as strong as shoes of leather,
Move into to a better place
Start fresh, sing anew --
A clean slate.

[CHORUS]
But I should've known 
That by this time of year
It'd be the same old story
Lookin' in the same old mirror,
Wearing the same old party dress,
Trying to hide the fact that I'm depressed.
Should've known that by lovin' you 
Again and again and again,
That last Christmas
Should've been the end;
That last Christmas 
Should've been the end.

I keep forgetting 
That I can't change 
Someone who don't wanna change,
Which is such a loss and a shame --
We used to have something great.

And that's the thing exactly;
Was it too good to be true? 
'Cause right when I was feelin' happy,
Hell came around and took you.

[CHORUS]
