I learned years ago santa ain't real
I know exactly how that moment made me feel
An early morning december the third
Until this day it's the worst thing I've heard

Mom got up early to cook
When the breakfast was ready
I saw dad and I shook
On his way out with the list of things to buy
I got suspicious, said, "can I go with? "

If santa ain't real
Why does he make me feel
Like I will survive this winter too?

Dad acted weird, looked over at mom
At the same time he said
"we don't have the time"
Hey there, you dropped your list and it said
Nintendo, hockey sticks and all the things I wish

Dad must be santa, I see it all now
Why else by the paper at such a weird time
I feel kinda stupid but still, I'm relieved
Could've been worse
Still got my easter beliefs

If santa ain't real
Why does he make me feel
Like I will survive this winter too?

If santa ain't real
Why does he make me feel
Like I will survive this winter too?
