Fake Snow And Plastic Cheer Lyrics

Christmas lights are shining bright, but I'm blind to all the glow

Fake smiles, forced hugs, caught in the undertow

Family dinners, empty chats, yeah, it's all the same

Underneath the glitter, just a hollow game

Why can't it be Christmas every day

Not the fights, not the lies, just the real in the way

Forget the fake snow and the plastic cheer

Just a little bit of love the whole damn year

Pressure's on to buy and give, more than we can take

All the debt, the empty gifts, this festival of fake

Faces that I never see, telling me I'm missed

But it's only 'cause the calendar says it's time for this

Why can't it be Christmas every day

Not the lies, not the fights, just the real in the way

Forget the fake trees and the red bows tied

Just a bit of honesty, with nowhere to hide

So here's to the season, to peace and good will

But it's one day, one shot, and the world stands still

It's just once a year we're all out of disguise

Then back to the grind, behind the same tired lies

Why can't it be Christmas every day

Not the lights, not the lies, just the real in the way

Forget the fake cheer and the shopping spree

Just a bit of truth, just you and me
