I know I’ve been a real bad guy
My name’s made the list more than a few times
You could light up a candle for every mistake that I’ve made
And I’d follow them home with you
On a pity parade
For years and years I pushed you aside
But I never again
Wrap me up like a present and throw me away
And when it gets cold I’ll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool’s holiday
I swear that I’m more than just broken promises
Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon, so
Do not open ’till you’ve got forever
To spend with me on a fool’s holiday
I’ve always lived too selfishly
Nobody’s perfect, babe
But I never tried to be
For every second I’ve poisoned
and all of the minutes you spent on me
I’d give my whole life’s worth of hours to fix what
I’ve broken
In the first place
For years and years I pushed you aside
But I never again
Wrap me up like a present and throw me away
And when it gets cold I’ll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool’s holiday
I swear that I’m more than just broken promises
Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon, so
Do not open ’till you’ve got forever
To spend with me on a fool’s holiday
Tie me in ribbons and put me away
Know that I’ll always be yours
Bells will ring on a fool’s holiday
Wrap me up like a present and throw me away
And when it gets cold I’ll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool’s holiday
I swear that I’m more than just broken promises
Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon, so
Do not open ’till you’ve got forever to spend with me…
Do not open ’till you’ve got forever to spend with me
On a fool’s holiday
