Verse 1
Happy Birthday, I thought of you today,
Like I do when the seasons slowly change.
So many years have come and gone,
Yet some memories still hold on.
I saw your name inside my mind,
Like an old photograph frozen in time.
No anger left, no tears to hide,
Just a quiet place where you still reside.
Pre-Chorus
Time taught me things I couldn't see,
Some roads aren't meant for you and me.
Chorus
Happy Birthday, wherever you are,
You're still a memory beneath the stars.
You'll always live somewhere in my mind,
A chapter written across my life.
And now I finally understand,
Some dreams were never in our hands.
What could have been has faded away,
But I still think of you today.
Verse 2
So many years, so many nights,
Searching for answers in fading lights.
I held on longer than I should,
Believing someday we might be good.
But life moves on, and so do we,
Not every story is meant to be.
And though my heart has learned to heal,
The memories still feel real.
Bridge
I don't wait by the door anymore,
I don't wish for what came before.
I've made my peace with yesterday,
And let the missing pieces stay.
Final Chorus
Happy Birthday, this is goodbye,
Not with sorrow, not with a cry.
You'll always be a part of me,
A distant echo across the sea.
And though I know there'll never be more,
Like I once hoped and wished before,
When this day comes, year after year,
I'll think of you... and smile from here.
Outro
Happy Birthday.
Be happy, wherever life has taken you.
I'll carry the memory,
But I'll finally let the dream go.
