Birthday - Maisie Peters

[00:05.18]You would always show up late
[00:10.05]A deck of excuses in your hands
[00:13.53]I would be the first to claim I didn't mind
[00:18.18]I understand
[00:22.78]I put all my songs into a tape
[00:27.88]All my words you held inside your hand
[00:32.15]And I don't think you ever even listened to them once
[00:36.38]I understand
[00:40.43]Waiting around, still halfway hopeful that you'll show
[00:45.16]You said you'd call, of course you won't, I should've known
[00:51.18]You're not here again, I'm not surprised
[00:55.23]I hate how long it took to realize
[00:59.96]You don't remember or you just don't care
[01:04.45]Today's my birthday
[01:08.22]And you're still not there
[01:13.11]You're still not there
[01:18.58]Sat crossed legged by the phone
[01:22.51]It's 2 AM, the candles all burned out
[01:27.08]And I could pretend that it's okay
[01:30.02]I understand, but I don't
[01:35.28]Waited around, I should've known, you wouldn't show
[01:40.24]And I'm just a fool who spent her birthday all alone
[01:46.06]You're not here again, I'm not surprised
[01:49.99]I hate how long it took to realize
[01:54.47]You don't remember or you just don't care
[01:59.42]Today's my birthday
[02:03.40]And you're still not there
[02:08.09]You're still not there
[02:12.28]I never asked for anything more than one happy birthday
[02:22.17]I never asked for anything more than happy birthday
[02:31.29]You're not here again, I'm not surprised
[02:35.84]I hate how long it took to realize
[02:40.18]That you don't remember, do you?
[02:42.70]Or you don't care
[02:44.82]Today's my birthday
[02:48.25]And you're still not there
[02:53.24]You're still not there
[02:58.19]You're still not there
[03:03.16]You're still not there
