Maisie Peters - Birthday lyrics

[Verse 1] You would always show up late A deck of excuses in your hands I would be the first to claim I didn’t mind I understand I put all my songs into a tape All my words you held inside your hand And I don’t think you ever even listened to them once I understand [Pre-Chorus] Waiting around, still halfway hopeful that you’ll show You said you’d call, of course you won’t, I should’ve known [Chorus] You’re not here again, I’m not surprised I hate how long it took to realize You don’t remember or you just don’t care Today’s my birthday And you’re still not there You’re still not there [Verse 2] Sat crossed legged by the phone It’s 2 AM, the candles all burned out And I could pretend that it’s okay I understand, but I don’t [Pre-Chorus] Waited around, I should’ve known, you wouldn’t show And I’m just a fool who spent her birthday all alone [Chorus] You’re not here again, I’m not surprised I hate how long it took to realize You don’t remember or you just don’t care Today’s my birthday And you’re still not there You’re still not there [Bridge] I never asked for anything more than one happy birthday I never asked for anything more than happy birthday [Chorus] You’re not here again, I’m not surprised I hate how long it took to realize That you don’t remember, do you? Or you don’t care Today’s my birthday And you’re still not there You’re still not there [Outro] You’re still not there You’re still not there
