Did I Make You Cry on Christmas Day? (Well, You Deserved It!) Lyrics
This time of year you always disappear
You tell me not to call
You tell me not to call
And when the door is closed you're wearing different clothes
Or hiding in the paper, pretending not to hear
Inexpensive wine
I buy it all the time
You tell me take it back
You say you'll take a nap
But I can see it now
You always tell me how
I could do so much better
You said it in your letter
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
Like every other day?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
On Christmas day?
The bed that isn't made
The broken window shade
The radiator's on
I loved you along
But I can see it now
You always tell me how
I could do so much better
You said it in your letter
I stay awake at night
After we have a fight
I'm writing poems about you
And they aren't very nice
I didn't mean to yell
I said I couldn't tell
I only grabbed your wrist
Or would you rather we kissed?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I make you cry
Like every other day?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I make you cry?
You tell me not to call
You tell me not to call
And when the door is closed you're wearing different clothes
Or hiding in the paper, pretending not to hear
I buy it all the time
You tell me take it back
You say you'll take a nap
But I can see it now
You always tell me how
I could do so much better
You said it in your letter
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
Like every other day?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
On Christmas day?
The broken window shade
The radiator's on
I loved you along
But I can see it now
You always tell me how
I could do so much better
You said it in your letter
After we have a fight
I'm writing poems about you
And they aren't very nice
I didn't mean to yell
I said I couldn't tell
I only grabbed your wrist
Or would you rather we kissed?
On Christmas day?
Did I make you cry
Like every other day?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I make you cry?

A lot of it makes me think it's about his dad and how he would never be around at Christmas time and such, but the grabbing by the wrist rather than kissing makes me think it's about a significant other. It could change meaning halfway through though, you never know.
this is a great song.....pretty forward
i think this is my favorite song of the Christmas CD's.
it is a very sad song :'(
Did I make you cry like every other day?
this is a really beautiful sad song, i like it
Holy Christmas Trees Batman!!! This song is amazing; one of the most honest songs I hear in quite some time
"I only grabbed your wrist Or would you rather we kissed?"
Whoa That speaks volumes. We saw him in concert this past fall and he sang a song from the new box set...it was fantastic but this one is the work of genius
Too genius for me...I am still trying to figure it out! Damn it I wish I was smart!
I've haven't actually heard this one, but the title made me laugh.
