Think back now when we were young There we're always tears at the birthday party You know how children can be so cruel? That's how it starts But what if we never learn how to behave? I did something and you never forgave me I never thought that it would be like this But now I see...
I see you share your cake with him Unwrapping presents that I should have sent What can I do? Must I watch you Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles? So happy birthday again
And it's the same every year Seems that I remember it as something more But you know how children can grow so strange? I still adore you What if we never learn from our mistakes? But then you'll never know how my heart breaks... I never thought that it would be like this But now I see...
I see you share your cake with him Unwrapping presents that I should have sent What can I do? Must I watch you Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles? So happy birthday again
One day I now he'll forget To pay you the compliments you're after You'll hang your sad aching head Behind a brittlr smile and a sbrill of laughter Somehow I couldn't quite summon the nerve Oh each anniversary
Then do you ever think of me? Unwrapping presents that I should have sent What can I do? Must I watch you Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles? So happy birthday again
