Birthday

[Verse 1]

You would always show up late

A deck of excuses in your hands

I would be the first to claim I didn't mind

I understand

I put all my songs into a tape

All my words you held inside your hand

And I don't think you ever even listened to them once

I understand

[Pre-Chorus]

Waiting around, still halfway hopeful that you'll show

You said you'd call, of course you won't, I should've known

[Chorus]

You're not here again, I'm not surprised

I hate how long it took to realize

You don't remember or you just don't care

Today's my birthday

And you're still not there

You're still not there

[Verse 2]

Sat cross-legged by the phone

It's 2 AM, the candles are burned out

And I could pretend that it's okay

I understand, but I don't

[Pre-Chorus]

Waited around, I should've known, you wouldn't show

And I'm just a fool who spent her birthday all alone

[Chorus]

You're not here again, I'm not surprised

I hate how long it took to realize

You don't remember or you just don't care

Today's my birthday

And you're still not there

You're still not there

[Bridge]

I never asked for anything more than one happy birthday

I never asked for anything more than happy birthday

[Chorus]

You're not here again, I'm not surprised

I hate how long it took to realize

That you don't remember, do you?

Or you don't care

Today's my birthday

And you're still not there

You're still not there

[Outro]

You're still not there

You're still not there
