[Verse 1] Every damn birthday, I feel a void that’s crashing me inside. ⸻ [Verse 2] On my 17th birthday, I cried in the bathroom. On the 18th, I cried in front of all my friends. On the 19th… I don’t know— I don’t even remember. ⸻ [Chorus] Round again, round again— my birthdays feel the same. But this time, this time— I’m changing up the game. Break the loop, break the loop, I’m done with all the pain. This year I’ll let the light in, let the light in again. ⸻ [Verse 3] Birthday after birthday, I bloom and come undone. Maybe growing older is learning how to run. ⸻ [Chorus] Round again, round again— my birthdays feel the same. But this time, this time— I’m changing up the game. Break the loop, break the loop, I’m done with all the pain. This year I’ll let the light in, let the light in again. ⸻ [Outro] So here’s to the candle that doesn’t make me cry. A quiet wish for peace— this year, I’ll try.
