Christmas Could Have Been Good - Mando Diao

You’re feeling down

And there’s no one around who can see

Why you keep your head up high

Little sister’s running around with candy

And you don’t

Wanna suffer your pride so you shut up

While your mommy’s crying loud

Daddy’s decorating the wall

And the Christmas trees

It’s the worst of days

So you lay down in your bed

And oooh, Christmas could have been good

Oooh, Christmas could have been good

It’s a shame what you have with your family affair but still

Christmas could have been good

Oooh, Christmas could have been good

Was a dream that you had but a dream that has passed away

Your house was made

Of blood and tears you wanna pray

From the opera

But you got no money to escape from tragedy

Bad luck girl

Your daddy’s here again he’s got his anger

And way too drunk to speak

So he can’t understand your misery at all

It’s the worst of days

And we hope that he fades away

But oooh, Christmas could have been good

Oooh, Christmas could have been good

It’s a shame that we have with a family affairs but still

Christmas could have been good

Oooh, Christmas could have been good

And the dream that we had was a dream but the worst of days

It couldn’t be good!
