[Verse 1: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
This is me, alone
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
And I (Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that)
And I (Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things
That I said to you)
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Kelli Ali]
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
[Verse 3: Chester Bennington]
This is my December
These are my snow-covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
And I (Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that)
And I (Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things
That I said to you)
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Kelli Ali]
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Kelli Ali]
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
This is me, alone
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
And I (Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that)
And I (Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things
That I said to you)
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Kelli Ali]
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
[Verse 3: Chester Bennington]

Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
