21 Candles

Verse One Patent balloons Lit silhouettes One crowded room It’s almost like I imagined it No one has a clue That you were on the list If only they knew You were my wasted birthday wish Chorus And there’s 21 candles Under flickering lights They’re playing our song The one from our very first night (I’m staring at) 21 candles Thinking this just ain’t right How could time go on Without you be my side 21, 21, 21 candles But you’re my only wish tonight Verse Two I pass through the room In between goodbyes Try not to wonder whеre you are And who’s by your side I Tеll myself you knew The right place and time Guess you don’t care That I’m cleaning up my own party tonight Chorus 2 Oh but there’s 21 candles Still stuck in plain sight One for every tear I didn’t let myself cry Oh no 21 candles Couldn’t make this seem right So I’ll lie to myself Say Maybe you missed your flight Oh 21, 21, 21 candles But you’re my only wish tonight Bridge 21 mistakes that I’ve made From 21 times that I looked away Oh 21 debts that I’ll have to pay For 21 lies you made me believe And 21 hearts, not enough break? I lived 21 years before you ruined me Oh and 21 times that I’ll rue the day But not today on my birthday Chorus 3 Cause theres 21 candles Blown out like a light One after another wasted on your goodbye I’m lighting 21 more candles This time I’ll get it right Won't hope for the best, because I know this time That 21, 21, 21 candles Will help me forget you tonight
