letra de tears at the birthday party - elvis costello & burt bacharach

Loading...

[verse 1]
think back now when we were young
there were always tears at the birthday party
you know how children can be
so cruel
that’s how it starts, but

[chorus]
what if we never learn how to behave?
i did something, and you never forgave me
i never thought that it could be like this
but now i see
i see you share your cake with him
unwrapping presents that i should have sent
what can i do?
must i watch you?

[verse 2]
close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
so happy birthday again
and it’s the same every year
seems that i remember it as something more, but
you know how children can grow
so strange
i still adore you

[chorus]
what if we never learn from our mistakes?
but then, you’ll never know how my heart aches
i never thought that it would be like this
but now i see
i see you share your cake with him
unwrapping presents that i should have sent
what can i do?
must i watch you?

[verse 3]
close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
so happy birthday again
close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
so happy birthday again
one day i know he’ll forget
to pay you the compliments you’re after
you’ll hang your sad, aching head
behind a brittle smile or a shrill of laughter

[chorus]
what if we only get what we deserve?
somehow i couldn’t quite summon the nerve
upon each anniversary
then do you ever think of me?
unwrapping presents that i should have sent
what can i do?
must i watch you?

[outro]
close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles, so happy birthday again [x4]
