I didn't know I was the only thing you saw

Your eyes were blue

I don't know why I couldn't love myself

But you needed proof

You and me, we'll always be the ones to hang around

I can see the loneliness you keep outside

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's your birthday, dear

It's alright, it's alright, and we're carryin' on

And you know, and you know, and you know

It's your birthday

Every word, every word and we're singin' along

Over and over, I can only scream so loud

But you ignored me

You picked it up, you picked it up all apart

And now, there's nothing for me

We gather 'round, your house burned down

As you held a garden hosе (aah)

You and me, we'll always be thе ones to hang around

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's your birthday, dear (alright)

It's alright, it's okay, and we're carryin' on

And you know, and you know, and you know

It's your birthday (ooh-oh)

Every word, every word and we're singin' along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's your birthday, dear

It's alright, it's okay, and we're singin' along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's your birthday, dear (alright)

It's alright, it's okay, and we're carryin' on (it's okay)

And you know, and you know, and you know

It's your birthday (alright)

Every word, every word and we're singin' along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's your birthday, dear (alright)

It's alright, it's okay, and we're carryin' on (it's alright)

And you know, and you know, and you know

It's your birthday (alright)

Every word, every word and we're singin' along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's your birthday, dear (alright)

It's alright, it's okay, and we're carryin' on (it's okay)

And you know, and you know, and you know

It's your birthday (alright)

Every word, every word and we're singin' along
