BIRTHDAY
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
