Not This Year — Aly & Aj

This Christmas card is contrived A mannequin looks more alive Haven't meant a word I've written here The page is full not one thing sincere

I can't, I can't I can't, I can't take it This is the time to smile, I can't fake it Please allow me the chance now To break it down

It's not snow, It's rain coming down And the lights are cool, But they burn out And I can't pull off the cheer Not this year Not this year Not this year

When I look into the mirror No happiness is present here Not supposed to whine, Not supposed to cry Try to hold it in, but not this time

I can't, I can't I can't, I can't take it This is the time to smile, I can't fake it Please allow me the chance now To break it down

It's not snow, It's rain coming down And the lights are cool, But they burn out And I can't pull off the cheer Not this year Not this year Not this year

Don't know, don't know If you can hear me I will, I will Speak louder for you

No more whispering Are you listening I am pleading I am pleading

I can't, I can't I can't, I can't take it This is the time to smile, I can't fake it Please allow me the chance now To break it down

It's not snow, It's rain coming down And the lights are cool, But they burn out And I can't pull off the cheer Not this year Not this year Not this year I can't, I can't

It's not snow, It's rain coming down And the lights are cool, But they burn out And I can't pull off the cheer Not this year Not this year Not this year Not this year
