Happy Birthday they all sing
The candles so red hot on my face
That they sting
But it should've been me
You should still be here
Won't tell anyone
My wish this year
I see your face in the mirror
As my hair dries
Coasting on enough pretty
To get by
Wasting all my time
Taming the creature I've become
Is it so wrong
To wanna feel right?
After swerving the wheel on that dark and
Fatal night
Like a snake I sat
And smelled your copper blood
The aroma is sweeter
When it's someone you loved
If it were you here instead
He'd fall at your feet
It'd be you in his arms
His tongue on your teeth
I see your face in the mirror
As my hair dries
Coasting on enough pretty
To get by
Wasting all my time
Taming the creature I've become
So I'll enjoy the cake
From a stranger's plate
I can still see you clear
In the review mirror
It should've been me
It should've been us
'Cause now I spend my time
Mourning the girl that never was
