Carefull what you say 
This time of year 
Tends to weaken me 
And have a little decency 
And let me cry in peace 
But there's a place where I 
Erase the challenges I've been through
Where I know every corner,
Every street-name all by heart
And so it is a part of my courageous plan to leave 
With a broken heart 
Tucked away under my sleeve 

I wanna go home for Christmas 
Let me go home this year 
I wanna go home for Christmas 
Let me go home this year

I'll pack my bags and leave before the sun rises tomorrow 
'cause we act more like strangers for each day 
That I am here 
But I have people close to me 
Who never will desert me 
Who remind me frequently 
What I was like as a child 
And so it is a part of my courageous plan to leave 
With a broken heart 
Tucked away under my sleeve 

I wanna go home for Christmas 
Let me go home this year 
I wanna go home for Christmas 
Let me go home this year

I don't know what my future holds or who I'll choose to love me 
But I can tell you where I'm from 
And who loved me to life 
And so it is a part of my courageous plan to leave 
With a broken heart 
Tucked away under my sleeve 

I wanna go home for Christmas 
Let me go home this year 
I wanna go home for Christmas 
Let me go home this year
