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 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 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 Pre-Chorus 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 Bridge 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 Outro You're still not there You're still not there
