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.

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 realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.

These days I haven't been sleeping,
Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
Realized 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".

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 realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.

I miss your tanned 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,
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.
So if the chain is on your door I understand.

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 realized 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.
All the time.

Selalu ada yang bernyanyi dan berelegi
Di balik awan hitam
Semoga ada yang menerangi sisi gelap ini
Menanti seperti pelangi setia
Menunggu hujan reda

Aku selalu suka sehabis hujan
Di bulan desember
Di bulan desember

Selalu ada yang bernyanyi dan berelegi
Di balik awan hitam
Semoga ada yang menerangi sisi gelap ini
Menanti seperti pelangi setia
Menunggu hujan reda

Aku selalu suka sehabis hujan
Di bulan desember
Di bulan desember

Sampai nanti ketika hujan tak lagi
Meneteskan duka meretas luka
Sampai hujan memulihkan luka

Aku selalu suka sehabis hujan
Di bulan desember
Di bulan desember

So this is love
In the end of December
Quiet nights
Quiet stars
And I'm here
Monday to Sunday
Cause you're fragile
And I'm weak

So you fall
When the nights grow longer
Into sleep
And won't wake up
And I'm here
I'm siting beside you
And I'll wait until the spring

Don't you worry
I'll be there for you
Don't worry about me
You know me better than that
Don't you worry
I'll be there for you
I'll catch you if you would fall

So you drift
When the days grow colder
Away from me
And won't look back
Far away
And i can't guide you
But I'm here
Til the spring

Stumbled around the block a thousand times
You missed every call that I had tried
So now I'm giving up
A heartbreak in mid-December
You don't give a fuck
You never remember me
While you're pulling on his jeans
Getting lost in the big city
I was looking out our window
Watching all the cars go
Wondering if I'll see Chicago
Or a sunset on the West Coast
Or will I die in the cold
Feeling blue and alone
I wonder if you'll ever hear this song on your stereo

[Chorus]
I hope you get your ball room floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
That's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December

[Verse 2]
Cast me aside to show yourself in a better light
I came out grieving, barely breathing and you came out alright
But I'm sure you'll take his hand
I hope he's better than I ever could have been
My mistakes were not intentions this is a list of my confessions I couldn't say
Pain is never permanent but tonight it's killing me

[Chorus]
I hope you get your ball room floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
That's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December

[Bridge]
I miss your face, you're in my head
There's so many things that I should have said
A year of suffering, a lesson learned
I miss your face, you're in my head
There's so many things that I should have said
A year of suffering, a lesson learned

[Chorus]
I hope you get your ball room floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
That's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December

Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again

Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs
Ambiance and vanity

Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things that I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

I feel a separation coming on
'Cause I know you want to be moving on

I wish it would snow tonight
You'd pull me in, avoid a fight
'Cause I feel a separation coming on
A separation coming on

Just prove that there is nothing left to try
'Cause the truth
I'd rather we'd just both deny

You kiss me with those open eyes
It says so much
It's no surprise, to you
But I've got something left to say

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Are you listening
To what they say?
Don't go that way
Remember, remember, December
Please remember

Don't surrender

You said, you wouldn't let them change your mind
'Cause when we're together fire melts the ice
Our hearts are both on overdrive
Come with me let's run tonight
Don't let
These memories be left behind

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Are you listening
To what they say?
Don't go that way
Remember, remember, December
Please remember

I remember, us together
With the promise, of forever
We can do this
Fight the pressure
Please remember December

Don't surrender

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Are you listening
To what they say?
Don't go that way
Remember, remember, December
Please remember

Don't surrender
