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
