Peter Levy - Lonely at Christmas Lyrics

Never been much good at history, too busy chasing things that weren't real
A lot of water under the bridge, that left its mark on the way I feel

I always looked ahead of the game, should have stayed in the moment
Made it something to build with, instead of living with torment

Been through the wars for you, just trying to find a sense of peace
Haunted by choices I made, and ghosts that never seem to cease

Memories like shadows, they dance and they sway, I let them lead me astray
But in the silence of night, I find my truth, and the words I couldn't say

Time is a river that flows and bends, still carrying dreams that once were bright
The ones I lost along the way, drowned in the depths of endless night

And every scar I have, tells a story, every tear I cried has paved my way
Yet it's my heart that keeps on beating, while my soul learns how to stay

Lessons and bridges burned; I've watched them crumble into dust
I found a strength in what was broken, at the expense of who to trust

There will always be a storm for me, but the moments where I stand
Somewhat defined through my experience, in discovering who I am

I'm so lonely at Christmas, always pain that time of year
Just lonely at Christmas, laughter and fake good cheer
Lonely at Christmas
