Merry Christmas (To The One I Used To Know)

If I could feel the memory instead of turning back time
I know that the past is all that's left of you and I
I'd relive when we first met, when you caught my eye
The rush of us and all that was right now would be so nice

But I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago
But Christmas eve my gift to me is dancing with your ghost
So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

If everything was like a dream, you'd be by my side
And who I thought you were was true not made up in my mind
You'd be here in my arms where I thought you'd be tonight
Instead of me left wondering, was everything a lie?

But I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago
But Christmas eve my gift to me is dancing with your ghost
So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

Once a year I let my heart go back to you and me
A secret gift I give myself on Christmas eve

If I could feel the memory instead of turning back time
I know that the past is all that's left of you and I

Still I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing, no he left long ago
But Christmas eve my gift to me is dancing with your ghost
So merry Christmas, to the one I used to know
So merry Christmas, to the one I used to know
