The one time a year we keep in touch
A quick text back
Don't talk much
Our once golden love has gone so blue
From secrets shared
To, "I knew you"
'Cause we had closed the chapter
Crossed out happy ever after
And I wish that I would've made the call
Today's your special day
But there's something still so grey
And I don't know if time could slow itself enough
To tell you I miss you
How I wish that I could pull through
But you're a thousand laughs we never got to make
Happy birthday
These moments in time are in my head
In 7th grade
Right when you said,
"I promise that I'll stick by your side"
Know you meant it
Know you tried
'Cause we had closed the chapter
Crossed out happy ever after
And I wish that I would've made the call
Today's your special day
But there's something still so grey
And I don't know if time could slow itself enough
To tell you I miss you
How I wish that I could pull through
But you're a thousand laughs we never got to make
Happy birthday
I don't wanna be someone that you can barely recognize
I don't wanna be someone you see once more this lifetime
'Cause I was your number one
I was where you would run
Today's your special day
But you know that I have to say
Oh I wish that we didn't slowly drift apart
Today's your special day
But there's something still so grey
And I don't know if time could slow itself enough
To tell you I miss you
How I wish that I could pull through
But you're just someone who I still pretend to know
I wish I had the guts to say
More than, "happy birthday"
More than, "happy birthday"
