[Verse]
Empty gift wrap, echo on the floor,
Clock ticks louder, thoughts hit the core.
Streamers droop, no balloons ascend,
A hollow invite lost to the wind.
[Chorus]
Candles lit for nobody here,
Flames dance lonely, feeding the fear.
Slice of life, untouched, unfair,
A birthday whispered to empty air.
[Verse 2]
Cardboard smiles in memories aged,
Scenes of joy now locked, disengaged.
Calendar mocks, that circled date,
A fleeting reminder of a love too late.
[Bridge]
No hands to grab the stringed piñata,
No cheers swallowed down with the Fanta.
Sugar fades, frosting left to ache,
Another year, a heart learns to break.
[Chorus]
Candles lit for nobody here,
Flames flicker tales of despair.
Slice of time, left in the glare,
A birthday unheard, the world unaware.
[Verse 3]
Shadow sings where once laughter grew,
A song reserved for the lost and few.
Paper crowns crumble, royalty erased,
A party thrown in the quietest of space.
