Plus 44 – Christmas Vacation

[Originally by Descendents]

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

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

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

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

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

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
