Back To December - American Country Hits

Written by：Taylor Swift

I'm so glad you made time to see me

How's life tell me how's your family

I haven't seen them in a while

You've been good busier than ever

We small talk work and the weather

Your guard is up and I know why

Cause the last time you saw me

Still burn in the back of your mind

You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December turn around and make it alright

I go back to December all the time

These days I haven't been sleeping

Staying up playing back myself leaving

When your birthday passed and I didn't call

Then I think about summer all the beautiful times

I watched you laughing from the passenger side

And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came the dark days

When fear crept into my mind

You gave me all your love

And all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

And I'd go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December

Turn around and change my own mind

And I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin your sweet smile

So good to me so right

And how you held me in your arms that September night

The first time you ever saw me cry

Maybe this is wishful thinking

Probably just mindless dreaming

If we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't

So if the chain is on your door I understand

But this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

And I'd go back to December

Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine

And I go back to December

Turn around and make it alright

And I go back to December

Turn around and change my own mind

And I go back to December all the time
