jay brannan - "christmas really sucks"

christmas really sucks
music and lyrics by jay brannan

it's cold, but light outside
another sleepless night
and santa never made it

it's just another day
at least it feels that way
it's christmas, and i hate it

the streets are empty
and so am i
to "merry christmas" i reply

don't put your trust
in happily ever after
fall if you must
for simple things like laughter
you said you'd always be here
but then you had to go
well, christmas really sucks this year
thought you should know

i'm craving pancakes
so much my stomach aches
but there is nothing open

you're on the telephone
sounds like you're not alone
it's been so long since we've spoken

has your day been merry?
cuz mine's been blue
hey, can i stay in love with you?

don't put your trust
in happily ever after
fall if you must
for simple things like laughter
you said you'd always be here
but then you had to go
well, christmas really sucks this year
thought you should know

Damn you Jay! Why do you always have to make me cry?

Your songs resonate so deeply with the things I experience in my life that it is almost eerie. And I want to thank you for that.

these are simple words and simple music,

but played together it's just magic :)

Wow.. Youre good man! You have a new fan!

PS I share the feeling. Hate being alone in this time of the year

@GhostShadow980 Because he's a maladjusted douchbag who wants everyone to be as miserable as he is. DON'T fall for it.

Glad to see i'm not quite so alone with the Bah HumBugs. Yeah my Bf asked if would be ok if he went to the annual "Family" Christmas-Eve dinner alone. To top it off he stayed the night to truly leave me alone for both days. Yeah he got back 6 pm Christmas day. Sux, sux, & a humbug kinda suck to. Love your voice, your songs, & thanks for being there when "he" wasn't. (0_~)
