From the recordings All These Candles and We Still Burned Out and All These Candles and We Still Burned Out
Lyrics
Another candle, another year
But tell me what's the point if you're not here?
I blow the flame out, I watch the smoke
But even wishes can't bring back a ghost
So I'll stay here without a party
Toasting a future that we'll never see
Cause without you, then I'm just nobody
And the gift that I want was the one
So I'll make a wish, please just tell me the truth
Your world is turning but I'm stuck on you
I can't sleep at night now that I'm all alone
Why are the party guests all your ghosts?
I blow out the candle, but what does it do?
My birthday means nothing if I can't have you
The cake is untouched, the calls feel fake
And now this day is the one that I most hate
Your chair is empty, but I set it still
Like you're running late
But I know you never will
And the streamers around me are mocking
Friends and family who are coming to see
This person that I'm not, but should be
And the gift that I want is the one I don't need
So I'll make a wish, maybe tell me truth?
Your world keeps turns while I'm stuck on you
I can't sleep at night now that I'm all alone
Why are the party guests all your ghosts?
I blow out the candle, but what does it do?
My birthday means nothing if I can't have you
Why am I wasting all my time
Counting regrets here while you're doing fine?
You get to forget while I'm losing my mind
Must be nice
So I'll make a wish, but it'll be about you
I'm standing still, tell me
Why did you move?
So I'll make a wish, please don't tell me the truth
I'm losing sleep cause I'm stuck on you
Now I'm alone and I missed your goodbye
But how am I supposed to keep this party alive?
I blow out the candles, what the fuck does it do?
This birthday means nothing if I can't have you
If I can't have you
I blow out the candles, what the fuck does it do?
This birthday means nothing if I can't have you
Another candle, another year
I close my eyes and you're not here
