Maybe Next Christmas

'Maybe next Christmas,' she used to say
'We'll find a new life and we'll both run away
Maybe next Christmas I won't be with him
Maybe next Christmas we can start fresh again'

Maybe next Christmas we'll have reaped 'till we've sown
Maybe next Christmas we'll have paid what we owe
Maybe next Christmas we won't be afraid
Maybe next Christmas we'll both be okay

'Cause
You can't pull the truth out of thin air.
You can't manufacture what ain't there
Maybe next Christmas we'll be by a fire
Maybe next Christmas you won't be liar

Maybe next Christmas I'll be in your arms
the scent of the evergreen keeping us strong
Maybe next Christmas I'll finally get to see
you wearing that dress that you bought just for me

Maybe next Christmas you'll be by my side
And relentlessly prove to me that I'm worth the fight
Maybe next Christmas I'll have more to say
than 'I gave you everything and you gave me away'

You can't pull the truth out of thin air...
You can't manufacture what ain't there
Maybe next Christmas you won't be thinking
that I'm just a criminal and you're still a queen
Yeah,
Maybe next Christmas I'll have more to say
than 'I gave you everything and you gave me away...
Yeah,
I gave you everything and you gave me
Yeah,
gave you everything and you gave me away...'
