december is no time for having a heart
freezing temperatures leave them lonely and cold
there's a boy for every scar
drunken nights spent with them in my car
I can't help it I fall in love
blame it on a genetic disposition I no longer see in my mother
44 years have left her with a december heart
countless times I've been left
broken hearted as snowflakes fell on slick icy streets
repeated repeated year after year
the excitement kept me warm until they disapeared
traded in for familiarity
months go by til summertime when they call back wondering how i've been
but im stuck with this december heart.
