tears at the birthday party

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
