Nobody Came

03:10

I counted every second like it owed me blood
Wrote your names in lipstick across the glass
Sat here in this dress you once said was pretty
I already knew the ending
Practiced the smile until my cheeks went numb
It never reached my eyes

The candles keep dripping time keeps stealing
I keep pretending this is still a party

Nobody came to my birthday
Nobody came nobody even tried
I sang the song to an empty room
Nobody came to my birthday
I blew the flames out one by one
Nobody came yeah nobody came

I left a slice on every empty chair
Unwrapped nothing just to feel the paper tear
Watched the shadows crawl across the floorboards
Still listening for footsteps
I whispered every apology I never received
Why do I keep setting myself on fire

Nobody came to my birthday
Nobody came nobody even tried
I sang the song to an empty room
Nobody came to my birthday
I blew the flames out one by one
Nobody came yeah nobody came
Nobody came nobody came
Nobody came nobody came

Maybe I never sent the invitations
Or maybe I did and they just... knew
I don't need the pity I don't need the lies
Just one person who meant it
Just one...

Nobody came to my birthday
Nobody came what a surprise
I waited with a smile that wouldn't stay
Nobody came to my birthday
I finished the song all by myself
Nobody came
Nobody came
Nobody came

I still made a wish
I still made a wish
Nobody came...
I came anyway
