I put my wish in the mailbox late/Signed it in lipstick, sealed it with fate/Didn’t ask for forgiveness/Didn’t ask for a sign/Just wanted something holy/That still tasted like wine 

Pre-Chorus 1

And I wore red for all the wrong reasons/Decked my lies in holiday sequins/I said I’d be better/I meant better dressed/You can’t call it nice If it’s wrapped in a threat 

Chorus 1

Santa can’t save me/I’ve gone too far/Burned down the list/And stole the sleigh car/I kissed him once, then took his boots/Told the elves “this workshop’s cute”/Yeah, Santa can’t save me/But you still might If you show up/Before midnight 

Verse 2

I prayed by the tree/With a shot in my hand/The angel fell off/And I barely could stand/I looked in the mirror/Said “you’re still a gift”/Then made a mistake/That could ruin the 25th 

Pre-Chorus 2

I stole the ribbon, tied up sin/Lit the wreath with a devilish grin/I tried to behave, then tried to beg/But I wore fishnets/To midnight mass instead 

Chorus 2

Santa can’t save me/I’m off the grid/Sleighed too hard/For the life I lived/I danced on the chimney/Tipped my crown/Wrote my name in the snow/Upside down/No, Santa can’t save me/But you still might/If you bring peace/With that goodbye  

Bridge

He sees me when I’m sleeping/But I don’t sleep/He knows when I’ve been wicked/But it runs too deep/I lit the bells/I lost the map/I kissed regret/Then I took it back 

Chorus 3

Santa can’t save me/I’m past repair/But baby, you could If you still care/I don’t need presents/Don’t need prayers/Just your shadow/On the bottom stair/No, Santa can’t save me/But maybe you could try/Before I set fire/To this silent night
