Luna Grey - Merry Little Nothing Lyrics

[Intro]
Empty stockings on the wall
Pretending that we've got it all
These dollar store dreams don't fool me
In this broken tinsel kingdom, can't you see?

[Verse 1]
Mama's working double shifts on Christmas Eve
While I'm sitting here just trying to believe
In some miracle that ain't gonna show
Second-hand presents wrapped in last year's bow
Paint chipped off my sister's hand-me-downs
Trying to smile while my heart drowns
In this empty apartment, heat barely on
Watching rich kids' Christmas vlogs till dawn

[Chorus]
I'm just a merry little nothing
In a world that wants everything
Fake snow and plastic feelings
While my soul keeps bleeding
Merry little nothing
That's what they made of me
But even broken things can shine
In this economy

[Verse 2]
Food stamps Christmas dinner, but we make it work
Hidden tears behind tinsel, yeah it f*cking hurts
Mom says "Santa's running late this year"
Same shit different December, I hear
Repainted toys looking factory new
Little white lies, that's what parents do
But I see through the cracks in her smile
Been seeing through them for a while

[Bridge]
They say it's the season of giving
But what if you got nothing left to give?
Except these empty promises
And dreams that never live

[Chorus]
I'm just a merry little nothing
In a world that wants everything
Fake snow and plastic feelings
While my soul keeps bleeding
Merry little nothing
That's what they made of me
But even broken things can shine
In this economy

[Outro]
So here's to all the nothing girls
Making something out of empty
Maybe next year will be different
But for now, this nothing's plenty
This nothing's plenty...
