No messages no quiet “Hey… I didn’t forget.” Just the city breathing around me And my footsteps pretending not to expect anything People I see every day walked by Smiling at something else, someone else And I kept telling myself it’s fine That maybe this year, silence is the gift I get ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ [Verse - Sagi] I stepped outside… telling myself “it’s just another day” But every heartbeat whispered maybe someone’s gonna say Those simple words I’ve been waiting for since dawn “Happy birthday” something small to lean upon I walked to work with that practiced little grin Pretending I don’t notice how the silence sinks in Colleagues passed me by with their stories and their plans Not a single glance that said they understand I kept thinking… Maybe you’ll remember, maybe you’ll try But each hello felt hollow, every smile a lie What did I do wrong? Why am I so easy to forget? I remember all your birthdays… every message, every step I was there for you... candles lit, gifts tied in gold But when it comes to mine… your hearts go cold So I laugh it off, act fine, like it doesn’t break my day But deep inside I’m fading… ’cause none of you could say... ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ [Verse - Yonit] Oh wow… look at you, waiting for angels to descend Checking your phone like hope is a trend Sweetheart… how many years till you learn? People don’t remember what doesn’t make them burn You dress the silence up like maybe it’s fate But it’s just your name scribbled in the margins of their day And that grin you wear? Adorable. Really. Masking a crack big enough to swallow a city You keep pretending you’re not counting the hours But your chest tightens every time someone walks by with flowers And still you ask, “What did I do?” — darling, nothing... They’re just beautifully talented at forgetting So go on, keep playing the strong one, the brave I’ll be right here whispering truths you’re too polite to say ’Cause honestly? Expecting more was your first mistake… Welcome to your birthday Enjoy your heartbreak ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ [Chorus - Sagi] I-I-I-I… guess I’m fine today – day Just-just-just-just… another date – date I-I-I-I… You really thought they’d try – try Same-same-same… year, another lie – lie It-it-it-it… doesn’t really hurt – hurt I’m-I’m-I’m-I’m… used to being blurred – blurred Wish-wish-wish-wish… you’d stop being kind They forgot you… right on time Say-say-say… anything at all... Silence hits harder than a fall... Smile-smile-smile… candle fades away – way Happy birthday to the words you didn’t say – say ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ [Bridge - Yonit] You know what’s funny? You keep calling it “bad luck” Like birthdays forget themselves You wait for a miracle But miracles need witnesses And tonight? No one showed up You don’t miss them You miss the version of you That thought it mattered Blow the candles out Make the wish I promise... Silence is very consistent ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ [Chorus - Sagi] I-I-I-I… guess I’m fine today – day Just-just-just-just… another date – date I-I-I-I… You really thought they’d try – try Same-same-same… year, another lie – lie It-it-it-it… doesn’t really hurt – hurt I’m-I’m-I’m-I’m… used to being blurred – blurred Wish-wish-wish-wish… you’d stop being kind They forgot you… right on time Say-say-say… anything at all... Silence hits harder than a fall... Smile-smile-smile… candle fades away – way Happy birthday to the words you didn’t say – say ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ [Outro - Yonit] Happy birthday… To the person who remembered everyone Next year?
