[Verse 1]
You were depressed, you were really messed up
You know I understand
But why did you not talk to me?
Why didn't you help me prepare for the nightmare?
[Chorus 1]
You took a vacation into oblivion
You were so low and I felt like I didn't know you
Christmas vacation, you took a vacation from me, oh-oh-oh
From me, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Once it ended, I mended myself
But it keeps falling back down off the shelves in my head
A twinge of pain now a shudder of disgust
As I shield my eyes from my own memory
[Chorus 2]
I knew all about your plans, I really did understand
But you didn't let me know, I wasn't invited to go
Christmas vacation, you took a vacation from me, oh-oh-oh
From me, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
I watched in desperation as you stumbled before my eyes
She needs beer, she doesn't need me, I finally realized
My anger and pain in all your fun, you couldn't recognize
I stopped caring long before you started to cry
You were depressed, you were really messed up
You know I understand
But why did you not talk to me?
Why didn't you help me prepare for the nightmare?
[Chorus 1]
You took a vacation into oblivion
You were so low and I felt like I didn't know you
Christmas vacation, you took a vacation from me, oh-oh-oh
From me, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Once it ended, I mended myself
But it keeps falling back down off the shelves in my head
A twinge of pain now a shudder of disgust
As I shield my eyes from my own memory
[Chorus 2]
I knew all about your plans, I really did understand
But you didn't let me know, I wasn't invited to go
Christmas vacation, you took a vacation from me, oh-oh-oh
From me, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
I watched in desperation as you stumbled before my eyes
She needs beer, she doesn't need me, I finally realized
My anger and pain in all your fun, you couldn't recognize
I stopped caring long before you started to cry
