Elvis Costello - Tears At The Birthday Party songtekst

Je score:


Think back now when we were young 

There were always tears at the birthday party 

You know how children can be 

So cruel 

That's how it starts, but 

What if we never learn how to behave? 

I did something, and you never forgave me 

I never thought that it could be like this 



But now I see 

I see you share your cake with him 

Unwrapping presents that I should have sent 

What can I do? 

Must I watch you? 



Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles 

So Happy Birthday again 



And it's the same every year 

Seems that I remember it as something more, but 

You know how children can grow 

So strange 

I still adore you 



What if we never learn from our mistakes? 

But then, you'll never know how my heart aches 



I never thought that it would be like this 

But now I see 

I see you share your cake with him 

Unwrapping presents that I should have sent 

What can I do? 

Must I watch you? 



Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles 

So Happy Birthday again 

Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles 

So Happy Birthday again 



One day I know he'll forget 

To pay you the compliments you're after 

You'll hang your sad, aching head 

Behind a brittle smile or a shrill of laughter 



What if we only get what we deserve? 

Somehow I couldn't quite summon the nerve 



Upon each anniversary 

Then do you ever think of me? 

Unwrapping presents that I should have sent 

What can I do? 

Must I watch you? 



Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles 

So Happy Birthday again 

Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles 

So Happy Birthday again 

Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles 

So Happy Birthday again 

Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles 

So Happy Birthday again
