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 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
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to 48, still make your birthday cake

All the pictures on the same walls
It's 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
When you see the Moon do you remember
She loved you there and back?

It's hard 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
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to 48, still make your birthday cake

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

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 make your birthday cake
