Elvis Costello - Tears at The Birthday Party слова песни
Think back now when we were youngThere were always tears at the birthday partyYou know how children can beSo cruelThats how it starts, butWhat if we never learn how to behave? I did something, and you never forgave meI never thought that it could be like thisBut now I seeI see you share your cake with himUnwrapping presents that I should have sentWhat can I do? Must I watch you? Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candlesSo happy birthday againAnd its the same every yearSeems that I remember it as something more, butYou know how children can growSo strangeI still adore youWhat if we never learn from our mistakes? But then, youll never know how my heart achesI never thought that it would be like thisBut now I seeI see you share your cake with himUnwrapping presents that I should have sentWhat can I do? Must I watch you? Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candlesSo happy birthday againClose the door, dim the lights, blow out the candlesSo happy birthday againOne day I know hell forgetTo pay you the compliments youre afterYoull hang your sad, aching headBehind a brittle smile or a shrill of laughterWhat if we only get what we deserve? Somehow I couldnt quite summon the nerveUpon each anniversaryThen do you ever think of me? Unwrapping presents that I should have sentWhat can I do? Must I watch you? Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candlesSo happy birthday againClose the door, dim the lights, blow out the candlesSo happy birthday againClose the door, dim the lights, blow out the candlesSo happy birthday againClose the door, dim the lights, blow out the candlesSo happy birthday again
