I know I've been a real bad guy,

My name's made the list more than a few times

You could light up a candle for every mistake that I've made

And I'd follow them home with you

On a pity parade.

For years and years I pushed you aside

But never again.

Wrap me up like a present and put me away

And when it gets cold I'll be yours

Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday

I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,

Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so

Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend

With me on a fool's holiday.

I've always lived too selfishly,

Nobody's perfect babe

But I never tried to be

So every second I've poisoned and all of the minutes you spent on me

I'd give my whole life's worth of hours to fix what I've broken in the first place.

For years and years I pushed you aside

But never again so.

Wrap me up like a present and put me away,

And when it gets cold I'll be yours

Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday

I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,

Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so

Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend

With me on a fool's holiday.

Tie me in ribbons and put me away,

Know that I'll always be yours

Bells will ring on a fool's holiday.

Wrap me up like a present and put me away,

And when it gets cold I'll be yours

Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday

I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,

Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so

Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend

With me.

Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend

With me on a fool's holiday.
