Turns out the holidays are extra hard after a breakup
lyrics
I'm getting used to spending most of my time alone
But as the air gets cold and takes on that sharp smell
I think about the holidays ahead
The family that aren't speaking to me
And the ones it won't be safe to visit even though they are
And I ask myself
How much did I really enjoy those cheesy songs
And the cross-country plane flights
And the Christmas Eve pajamas
And how much it was just the story those things told
Of the kind of life, I could let myself grow into
Maybe that's all we can ever really miss
Is the story we thought we were writing
So I think what I'm going to do
Is bake a lot of bread
And burn a lot of scented candles
And talk to my cats
And talk to myself
About what kind of story I would tell
Just for me
Maybe I'll get myself something nice
When I put it like that it sounds
