Not This Year lyrics

This Christmas card is so contrived A mannequin looks more alive Haven't meant a word I've written here The page is full not one thing sincere I can't, I can't I can't, I can't take it This is the time to smile I can't fake it Please allow me the chance now To break it down [Chorus] It's not snow, its rain coming down And the lights are cool But they burn out And I can't pull off the cheer Not this year Not this year Not this year When I look into the mirror No happiness is present here Not supposed to whine Not supposed to cry Try to hold it in, but not this time (Chorus) Don't know, don't know If you can hear me I will, I will Speak louder for you No more whispering Are you listening I am pleading I am pleading I can't, I can't I can't, I can't take it This is the time to smile I can't fake it Please allow me the chance now To break it down (Chorus 2x)
