lyrics

Yes, I didn't make it to your big birthday
That was more than I could do
It's much easier to give things
When it's not demanded of you

But you must know that we can't do this
It turned too sour long time ago
I can't carry all your disappointments
And I don't want to disappoint you anymore

You wanted me to come meet you
At one of our very sacred places
And I was tempted and I was flattered
But our past is in our way

You only want me when it's over
And only when I've given up
You want to break us then revive us
Does the resurrection get you off

And today I can't reach you
But I hope you're doing great
The things I sent you I hope you got them
But of course it is too late

And I can't give you anything now
Even though you wanted me to
I'm saying my cheers all alone here
And someone else is celebrating you

And I can't give you anything now
Even though you wanted me to
I'm saying my cheers all alone here
And someone else is celebrating you
