Christmas Without You

You told me once that you loved me and that you would always be true Just like a fool I believed you, I changed my life to suit you. Then just before Christmas you left me, left me right here on my own I'm moving on now you're nothing to me I'm going to make it alone. You're out of my life now forever You're part of my past and I'm glad. I don't think you ever loved me at all now it's your turn to be sad So I'm spending Christmas without you I don't care where you might be I'm making plans and they don't include you Christmas means nothing to me. I'll find someone who adores me Someone who'll always be true. It won't be easy I know for a fact I'm still addicted to you But I'm moving on now without you somehow I'm going to be strong I hope you're miserable out there alone Coz that is just where you belong. All I am wanting for Christmas is for you to be nowhere around Family and friends will be welcome to call to share in the freedom I've found But I hope that you keep your distance I don't want to see you round here Happily I will be waving good-bye Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. (I have a melody for this and it doubles up as a song - problem is that I can't sing and don't know what to do with it!!)
