I hid under my blanket
Trying to listen for reindeer bells
But the only thing I can hear
Are my parents shout and yell
I hide around the door now
Trying to block out the swears
Maybe a family nicer
Will be inside them somewhere
My sister and me look at each other
We crawl to the top of the stairs.
Dad is packing his bags
Mum slaps him around the head
Get out of this house forever
We hear our Mum exclaim
Maybe our salty tears
Will wash away the pain
Dad grabs his bags
He heads out the door
Our mothers sees us and says
He's welcome here no more
Merry Christmas to everyone
There is always a family fall
But now I'm thinking about it
Is the separation my fault?
