[Verse 1]
Everyone's watching the fireworks
I'm on the couch, no more champagne
Balloons covering the dance floor
Confetti falling like summer rain
Eating the twelve grapes of luck
Getting ready for the midnight bells
Can't ignore the ticking of the clock
I've never been a fan of the holidays
[Pre-Chorus]
Blood in my glass, I toast to myself
There's no one left, there's no one left to blame
[Chorus]
It hit me so hard
Hit me so hard
Hit me so hard
Hit me so hard
God only knows how I've really felt all these years
It caught me off guard
Caught me off guard
Caught me off guard
Caught me off guard
If the house was empty, who was waiting for me?
[Verso 2]
Everyone's playing in the snow
Or so the window seems to reflect
I should be howling with the wolves
But I no longer enjoy that privilege
It’s been my story all along
Isn’t it ironic how the papers have changed?
Wish I could wash you out of my clothes
What am I doing here if I didn't disobey?
[Pre-Chorus]
Blood in my glass, I toast to myself
There's no one left, there's no one left to blame
[Chorus]
It hit me so hard
Hit me so hard
Hit me so hard
Hit me so hard
God only knows how I've really felt all these years
It caught me off guard
Caught me off guard
Caught me off guard
Caught me off guard
If the house was empty, why were you waiting for me?
[Bridge]
No one knew you were waiting for me
Why were you waiting for me?
No one knew you were waiting for me
Why were you waiting for me?
No one knew you were waiting for me
Why were you waiting for me?
No one knew you were waiting for me
Why were you waiting for me?
[Outro]
Just wanted to tell you I forgive you for all your sins
And no matter what happened between us
Cause you'll read about it in the newspaper
Before you drop your favorite coffee cup
His soul will always live under this rotten skin
And his memory will turn into a tombstone
Don’t worry about your son, cause he never left
With love, the portrait hanging on the wall
