Back to December

I’m so glad you made time to see me How’s life? Tell me, how’s your family? I haven’t seen them in a while You’ve been good busier than ever We small talk, work and the weather Your guard is up and I know why 'Cause the last time you saw me Still burns in the back of your mind You gave me roses and I left them there to die So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time, It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missin’ you Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine And I go back to December, turn around And make it all right I go back to December all the time These days I haven’t been sleepin’, Stayin’ up playing back myself leavin’ When your birthday passed And I didn’t call, then I think about summer, All the beautiful times, I watched you laughin’ from the passenger side And realized I loved you in the fall And then the cold came, With the dark days when the fear crept into my mind You gave me all your love And all I gave you was goodbye So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night
