strum, strum...

You dream of her song
And it ends
When you listen to how her words belong
To someone else

You wake as snow falls
On the morning
The dream finally dissolves
Since you realize: she won't hear you calling

As you rise from your bed
You slip while walking out into the hall
The quiet thud reverberates
Marking a dent on the wall

As the house shakes
While rolling down the stairs
Your palm pressing on the floor
Smashing the Christmas tree
Crushing your mom's decor

You wish as she eats her first course
On Christmas morn
She might think of you crushed
With the memory of your face forlorn

When she said how all hope was lost
And the hurt wasn't worth the cost
Since your love was a love for the chase
Doomed to end if she were to reciprocate

So she said goodnight and be happy with this
Take the dream instead of a kiss
And in the future you can place your lips
On a new face
And all the might
Of regret will be erased
And you can lose your mind on a new name
And gamble your heart on a new game

And when you look
How her face resembles someone other
Close your eyes and say it's
Someone you can't remember
