[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
For years and years I pushed you aside
But never again

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
For years and years I pushed you aside
But never again

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Tie me in ribbons and put me away
Know that I'll always be yours
Bells will ring on a fool's holiday

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend
With me on a fool's holiday
