This sweet sixteen is bittersweet And now I'm turning seventeen I don't know how you're still not with me Don't know what you want me to change You make me feel like I'm deranged I just wish and make these feelings fade Time flew by like the cars on the highway Never giving me another thought Though we never even fell in love I think of what we have lost When the party's over and everyone's going home The world turns slower and I make this wish all alone There was just one thing I could do I say my only birthday wish is you Because I don't know what to change I just wish you could explain How I could ever be enough for you I feel like all my hope is fleeting I'm terrified that you'll be leaving I don't know what else I can do Time flew by like the cars on the highway Never giving me another thought Though we never even fell in love I think of what we have lost When the party's over and everyone's going home The world turns slower and I make this wish all alone There was just one thing I could do I say my only birthday wish is you As I blew out the candles and the lights got turned way down low I don't know if I could handle being alone I thought about the candle and its short-lasting glow You're the only one I truly know When the party's over and everyone's going home The world turns slower and I make this wish all alone There was just one thing I could do I say my only birthday wish is you
