So save all of your lightnFor those who can't sleep at nightnAnd who can't even sing to their shadowsnOh they ride into townnAnd they throw the shots downnAnd they save the last round for the windowsnnSinging don't let me into this year with an empty heartnWith an empty heartnDon't let me into this year with an empty heartnnI'm inside with my friendsnWe build fires and pretendnThat the night could just bend on forevernWhile outside in the frostnAre the wolves and the lostnAnd we sing to the dogs or whoevernnSinging don't let me into this year with an empty heartnWith an empty heartnDon't let me into this year with an empty heartnnThere's a friend that I havenAnd for her I'll go backnYou see all of these empties that I'm holdingnThey're too much for a mannEmpty arms, empty handsnAnd she'll know me by the sound of my hopingnnSinging don't let me into this year with an empty heartnWith an empty heartnDon't let me into this year with an empty heart
