Merry Christmas (To the One I Used to Know)

If I could feel a memory instead of turning back time

I know that the past is all that's left of you and I

I'd relive when we first met, when you caught my eye

The rush of us and all that was right now would be so nice

But I know when Christmas comes around

And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground

You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago

But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost

So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

If everything was like a dream, you'd be by my side

And who I thought you were was true, not made up in my mind

You'd be here in my arms where I thought you'd be tonight

Instead of me, left wondering, was everything a lie?

But I know when Christmas comes around

And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground

You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago

But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost

So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

Once a year, I let my heart go back to you and me

A secret gift I give myself

On Christmas Eve

If I could feel a memory instead of turn back time

I know that the past is all that's left of you and I

Still I know when Christmas comes around

And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground

You aren't the one I'm missing, no, he left long ago

But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost

So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know
