Maybe next Christmas, she used to say
We'll find a new life and we'll both run away
Maybe next Christmas, I wont be with him
Maybe next Christmas, we can start fresh again

Maybe next Christmas, we'll have reaped what we've sewn
And maybe next christmas we'll have paid what we owe
Maybe next Christmas, we won't be afraid
And maybe next Christmas, we'll both be okay

But you can't pull the truth out of thin air
You can't manufacture what aint there
And maybe next Christmas, we'll be by a fire
Well, maybe next Christmas, you won't be a liar

Maybe next Christmas, I'll be in your arms
With the scent of the evergreens pushing us strong
Maybe next Christmas I'll finally get to see
You wearing that dress that you bought just for me

Maybe next Christmas, you'll be by my side
Relentlessly prove to me that I'm worth the fight
And maybe next Christmas, I'll have more to say
Than I gave you everything, and you gave me away

But you can't pull the truth out of thin air
You can't manufacture what aint there
And maybe next christmas you wont be thinking
That I'm just a criminal and you're still a queen
