[Verse 1] Found your fork in my sink Silver still warm from your lips Paper crown on the floor Confetti caught in my ribs Half a banner still swinging “HAPPY BIRTH—” like it’s breathing Plastic cup on the counter Your lipstick print still scheming [Chorus] I’m eating leftover birthday cake For breakfast, for dinner, for my own sake Scraping the frosting where your name’s still spelled Every bite pulls me under your spell I’m eating leftover birthday cake Trying to taste the night we can’t remake Sweet turns sharp when the sugar fades But I keep coming back… anyway [Verse 2] Phone lights up on the table Friends asking “how’d it go?” I type “it was magic” Then delete it real slow Write back “yeah it was cool… y’know” There’s a candle bent in the sink Wick still whispering low I could strike it right now Make a wish only you would know [Chorus] I’m eating leftover birthday cake For breakfast, for dinner, for my own sake Scraping the frosting where your name’s still spelled Every bite pulls me under your spell I’m eating leftover birthday cake Trying to taste the night we can’t remake Sweet turns sharp when the sugar fades But I keep coming back… anyway [Bridge] Crumbs on my shirt, crumbs in the box Thought this would fix it, but it just unlocks More of your ghost in the glow of the fridge light Still I keep that last slice On the middle shelf at midnight Like if I save it… Maybe you’ll save me (maybe you’ll save me) [Final Chorus] I’m eating leftover birthday cake Slow now, like a secret I can’t break Scraping the frosting where your name’s still spelled Every bite feels like you’re somewhere else I’m eating leftover birthday cake Chasing the spark that we almost made Sweet turns sharp, but the spell remains So I keep going back… Hoping you feel the same
