The curtain moves in the room
And it doesn't seem like there's any air
You feel alienated this time too
From the Christmas atmosphere
Someone singing in the street
Seems like a new song to you
Yet if you try to sing it
You find it in your memory

You've heard that love
Lives just a block away from you
Why haven't you met it before
You made the serious mistake of believing
That true love doesn't exist
And that everything around you is sad

Rather than being normal
You chose to be happy
No one can guarantee you
But the risk doesn't scare you

You admit to being capable of loving and not letting yourself be loved
Because you can't bear
The weight of my words

And you've heard that love
Lives just a block away from you
Why haven't you met it before
You made the serious mistake of believing
That true love doesn't exist
And that everything around you is sad
Because reason doesn't admit
Objections to what it doesn't see
Even if you don't know what you're missing
You can feel its absence strongly

You've heard that love
Lives just a block away from you
Why haven't you met it before
You made the serious mistake of believing
That true love doesn't exist
Look at yourself in the mirror, you're not sad anymore
