[Verse]
Candle flames flicker life's a disguise
Cupcake melting under teary skies
Blowing out wishes no spark no fun
Her birthday ruined before it begun
[Verse 2]
Seven days a week she’s on the grind
Books and bills racing her tired mind
A little brother she raises with care
But her birthday’s a storm no one repairs
[Chorus]
Every year a mess they bring me down
Family drama turning smiles to frowns
I just want a day where joy can stay
But they always find a way to betray
[Verse 3]
Classes by day and cleaning all night
Dreams of a partner feel out of sight
Lonely as stars that no one can see
Her birthday wish whispers "set me free"
[Bridge]
Friends are strangers she can't yet find
Life keeps her trapped where love’s confined
Heart whispers secrets to an empty room
Her birthday blooms in grey not perfume
[Chorus]
Every year a mess they bring me down
Family drama turning smiles to frowns
I just want a day where joy can stay
But they always find a way to betray
