birthday cake (duet)

You called with the news, I thought you were kidding
You were always joking all the time
You kept breathing but stopped living
Held it like poison inside

They say everything happens for a reason
But it only makes you mad
'Cause how in the hell can you believe 'em
When nothing brings her back?

It's hard to know (to know) what she would say
But I think she'd

Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break (break)
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to 48, still made your birthday cake

I know it's unfair, I know that you're angry
'Cause she went somewhere she couldn't take her baby
Sometimes you swear you can hear her making coffee
When nobody's there, you feel like you're crazy

People send flowers with cards attached
She was so much more than that
Just her voice can make you happy
Wanna call her up so badly

It's hard to know (to know) what she would say (say)
But I think she'd

Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to 48, still made your birthday cake

I want you to love
I want you to love (want you to love)
I want you to love, want you to love

Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it, she made it, oh

Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to 48, still made your birthday cake
