Christmas Lights Lyrics

Christmas night, another fight
Tears, we cried a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Of poison in my blood

I took my feet to Oxford Street
Trying to right a wrong
Just walk away, those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone

When...

    I can relate to this song when I split from my wife in 2016 at Christmas, I was homeless in London and was drinking very heavily to cope with it. The lyrics describe that exactly and I think it's similar to the actual song :

    Christmas night, another fight, tears we cried a flood
    Got all kinds of poison in, of poison in my blood
    Took my feet to Oxford Street tryna right the wrongs
    Just walk away those windows say but I can't believe she's gone

    The breakup with my wife happened about a week before Christmas that year, made me cry a lot of tears. I was inconsolable at the time. I drank very heavily, put lots of poison in my blood. I was in London which makes the Oxford Street reference relatable. And I couldn't believe she was gone.

    I have come out of it all the other side now and am much happier

    It is about a couple who fought and split apart near Christmas and the guy is regretting ever letting her go and wants her back!
