You Ruined Christmas - Beth Crowley

The day that we met is one I will always remember

I saw you at a bakery last year in December

It felt like a movie

I hated you at first but you eventually wooed me

Though you said the holidays were too overrated

I knew that I could show you how to not be so jaded

And helped you see the magic

So when you dumped me back in August, it was totally tragic

Congratulations

You ruined Christmas

I never thought I’d have a reason to start hating my favourite season

I should be jolly

But my head is filled with all these memories I’m stuck reliving

'Cause you’re the gift that won’t stop giving me grief

I can’t believe you ruined Christmas

When I told Santa finding love was all that I needed

I probably should have specified I wanted to keep it

I was way too busy

Waiting under mistletoe and hoping you’d kiss me

In retrospect I never should have made the decision

To have you be a part of all my yearly traditions

Most of them are ruined

Can’t even hang my stocking without thinking of you and

Congratulations

You ruined Christmas

I never thought I’d have a reason to start hating my favourite season

I should be jolly

But my head is filled with all these memories I’m stuck reliving

'Cause you’re the gift that won’t stop giving me grief

I can’t believe you ruined Christmas

There’s no way I can have goodwill towards men

Unless they’re made of snow

I’m done with them

Congratulations

You ruined Christmas

I should be jolly

But my head is filled with all these memories I’m stuck reliving

'Cause you’re the gift that won’t stop giving me grief

I can’t believe you ruined Christmas
