when he gives you half the effort
i hope you go back to last year
and remember the good times we had

he could never do it better
but that's neither here nor there
hope you're happy with what you have

but i also hope you regret some things
and that you miss me all the time
that when you blow those candles out tonight
i'm there in the back of your mind
if you even get cake or a celebration
maybe you probably might
but it wont ever be the same
cause i gave everything to see you smile

and you wont ever say if you do
because that would mean you ruined us
and you don't want me to be right

i was never against you
but you heard what you wanted
left without even a fight

just radio silence
and i didn't even get to know why
i figure i bruised your ego somehow
or you found someone easier to like
and instead of being honest with yourself
you abandoned ship and broke your promises
because if you dont need me anymore
it's not a crime to find new accomplices

but tonight when you're one year older
and every year until you lose count of them all
i  hope you remember the day you turned twenty five

be it demolished or sober
the memories right there with you
when they're singing out of tune
the last time you had me in your life

i never said i could walk on water
or that my feelings wouldn't be a bother
but you cant hide your disappointment
as i get swept into the current

as the tide crashes it swallows me whole
and i dont think you've ever been this cold
just watch as it carries me away
bitter to the very last wave

blaming me for what i wouldn't be
acting blindsided when i never missed a beat
trying to tell you how to steer back into safe waters
you couldn't even bother

so as you spit on an empty grave
cursing those who speak my name
remember who hurt who
the person you should be projecting on is you
