Penelope Scott Letters To Santa Lyrics

[Intro]
Well, yes, I read them
How could I not?
Sometimes I read them
Some but not all

[Verse 1]
There's just so many, not all of them nice
But some are very serious and very polite
I kind of can't answer, my hands are tied
It's not that kind of letter, it wouldn't be right

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know I can't answer
You kind of know why
But sometimes I read them
I see you trying

[Chorus]
Some are so sad that they make me cry
Some are so soft, some are so kind
Some are so funny, so short and so sweet
The whole thing is surreal and I can't believe it
And you know I can't answer, it wouldn't be right
But I'm wishing you love from the other side
Your letters to Santa, they always arrive
And you won't get an answer, 'cause it wouldn't be right

[Post-Chorus]
No one looks out for the kids online
But I cherish the distance
I won't blur the lines
Between the children and Santa
One note and the next
The thing that you heard and the thing that I said

[Verse 2]
So I lie, cheat, steal, I cover my face
I say I was kidding, I say it's a phase
I say I'm a liar, I say it's not real
And then I tell you honestly just how I feel
And you'll never catch me, I'll never own up
I'll always be honest and I'll tell you I'm not
I cry and I sing and you'll know what I mean When I read your letter, you won't know that I've seen it

[Pre-Chorus]
I just won't answer, my hands are tied
It wouldn't be fair, no, it wouldn't be right
You know I can't answer, you know that I won't
You know that I'm grateful, you know I'm not joking

[Chorus]
I'll never forget you, I'll never give up
I'll never be perfect, I'll never be enough
I'll never forget you, I'll never die
I'll never stop loving, I'll never stop trying
And I'll never answer, and you kinda know why
But your letters to Santa, they always arrive

[Post-Chorus]
Change my life and I'll change your mind
If you change my mind, I will change your life
Change my life and I'll change your mind
If you change my mind, I will change your life

[Bridge]
Got off stage in Prague, burst into tears
How could it be, how could it be real?
Change my life and I'll change your mind
If you change my mind, I will change your life
Change my mind and I'll change your life
If you change my life, I will change your mind

[Outro]
Change my life and I'll change your mind
If you change my mind, I will change your life
Change my life and I'll change your mind
If you change my mind, I will change your life
Your life (Your life)
Thank you all so much for having me
