"It's almost Christmas"
When I take off my make-up, I look old and defeated
I'm not so dangerous
Cry into my Christmas cake
Staring holes into me all night
You should just give up
Because our love's become
Selling secrets to the Russians
They don't need
The cold war is on between you and me
25 years old and a bachelor's degree
Your parents helped out with graduation fees
The loans were never enough
The credit cards are calling your bluff
Hold your hand, cut them up, move away
Or you'll be paying them off until your kids grow up
And do the same
There's no more running water
Wrapping presents in the dark
Move into your car
Change where you park
Too bad that job caroling department stores fell through
But the new year is right in front of you
Cry into your Christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
Don't know what else to do
(Fa la la fa la la la la)
I fear I'm going deaf
I've got some sense left
Give up some more to be with you
(Oh)
Because what good is seeing if love's not looking back at you?
(Ah)
And what good is feeling if my hands aren't touching you?
And another angel came down
He was wearing only a cloud
He said, "Sew up the bad that you've done
Tomorrow, Christmas day comes"
(Christmas day)
Cry into your Christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
Cry into your Christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
The new year's right in front of you
(Fa la la fa la la la la)
When I take off my make-up, I look old and defeated
I'm not so dangerous
Cry into my Christmas cake
Staring holes into me all night
You should just give up
Because our love's become
Selling secrets to the Russians
They don't need
The cold war is on between you and me
25 years old and a bachelor's degree
Your parents helped out with graduation fees
The loans were never enough
The credit cards are calling your bluff
Hold your hand, cut them up, move away
Or you'll be paying them off until your kids grow up
And do the same
There's no more running water
Wrapping presents in the dark
Move into your car
Change where you park
Too bad that job caroling department stores fell through
But the new year is right in front of you
Cry into your Christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
Don't know what else to do
(Fa la la fa la la la la)
I fear I'm going deaf
I've got some sense left
Give up some more to be with you

Cry into your Christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
Cry into your Christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
The new year's right in front of you
(Fa la la fa la la la la)

Maybe it's a a little to out of the way, but this song tells a story to me. It sounds like someone(The speaker of the song) lived with their significant other, and was comfortable. They were living paycheck to paycheck, but they still got by. And then the speaker and their significant other broke apart, and the speaker stayed in the house. With too much pride to turn to their parents (Who already helped with a little money) they continued living their life as if nothing happened. Jobs fell through, and nothing worked, but still too much pride to ask for help. So they continue on to Christmas, buying gifts for their family members as if nothing has happened, and they have money to spare; to save face, essentially. And so they lament over what they've done, but they feel absolutely powerless to change anything.
