| Lyrics: | Think back now when we were young
There were 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 could 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 aches
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
Close the door, dim the
lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again
One day I know he'll
forget
To pay you the compliments you're after
You'll hang your sad, aching
head
Behind a brittle smile or a shrill of laughter
What if we only get what we
deserve?
Somehow I couldn't quite summon the nerve
Upon 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
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy
Birthday again
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday
again
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again |
