VERSE 1

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.

Because the last time,

you saw me is still,

burned in the back of your mind.

You gave me roses,

and I left them there to die.

CHORUS

So this is me,

swallowing my pride,

standing in front of you,

saying I'm sorry for that night.

And I goback to December,

all the time.

It turns out,

freedom ain't nothing,

but missing you.

Wishing I'd realise what I had,

when you were mine.

I go back to December,

turn around,

and make it all right.

I go back to December,

all the time.

VERSE 2

These days,

I haven't been sleeping.

Staying up

playing back myself leaving.

When your birthday passed,

and I didn't call.

Then I think about the summer,

all the beautiful times.

I watched you laughing from

the passengers side,

and I,

realised,

I loved you in the fall.

And then the cold came,

the dark days

when fear crept into my mind.

You gave me all your love,

and all I gave you was...

Goodbye...

CHORUS

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 missing you.

Wishing I'd realised,

what I had,

when you were mine.

I go back to December,

turn around,

and change my own mind.

I go back to December,

all the time.

BRIDGE

I miss your tan skin,

your sweet smile.

So good to me,

so right.

And how you held me

in your arms,

that September night,

the first time you ever saw me cry.

Maybe this is wishful thinking.

Probably mindless dreaming.

If we loved again,

i swear I'd love you right.

I'd go back in time and change it,

but I can't.

And if the chain is on your door,

I understand.

CHORUS

But this is me,

swallowing my pride,

standing in front of you,

saying I'm sorry for that night.

And I go back to December....

It turns out,

freedom ain't nothing,

but missing you.

Wishing I'd realise,

what I had when you were mine.

I'd go back to December,

turn around,

and make it all right.

I'd go back to December,

turn around,

and change my own mind.

I go back to December all the time.
