Birthday Wish

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
