Birthday Lyrics

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

Waiting around, still halfway hopeful that you'll show
You said you'd call, of course you won't, I should've known

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

Sat crossed legged by the phone
It's 2 AM, the candles all burned out
And I could pretend that it's okay
I understand, but I don't Waited around, I should've known, you wouldn't show
And I'm just a fool who spent her birthday all alone

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

I never asked for anything more than one happy birthday
I never asked for anything more than happy birthday

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

You're still not there
You're still not there
