birthday cake

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 them

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 (don't break)

Never look down when you walk the wire

Like she made it to 48, still made your birthday cake

All the pictures on the same walls

Looks like she just went to the store

And when you look into the mirror

Does it make you miss her more?

Win or lose, she was always on your side

Never missed a match

And when you see the moon, do you remember?

She loved you there and back

It's hard to know (to know) what she would say (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

Never look down when you walk the wire

Like she made it to 48, still made your birthday cake (cake)

(Want you to live)

Oh-oh-oh

(Want you to love)

Oh-oh-oh

(Want you to live, 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-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
