ALY & AJ - Not This Year lyrics

This Christmas card is contrived

A mannequin looks more alive

Haven't meant a word I've written here

The page is full not one thing sincere

I can't, I can't

I can't, I can't take it

This is the time to smile,

I can't fake it

Please allow me the chance now

To break it down

It's not snow, It's rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can't pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year

When I look into the mirror

No happiness is present here

Not supposed to whine,

Not supposed to cry

Try to hold it in, but not this time

I can't, I can't

I can't, I can't take it

This is the time to smile,

I can't fake it

Please allow me the chance now

To break it down

It's not snow, It's rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can't pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year

Don't know, don't know

If you can hear me

I will, I will

Speak louder for you

No more whispering

Are you listening

I am pleading

I am pleading

I can't, I can't

I can't, I can't take it

This is the time to smile,

I can't fake it

Please allow me the chance now

To break it down

It's not snow, It's rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can't pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year

I can't, I can't

It's not snow, It's rain coming down

And the lights are cool,

But they burn out

And I can't pull off the cheer

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year

Not this year
