[Verse 1]
Woke up to my own reflection
Bedhead crown
Still I grin
Coffee cup
A crooked candle
Singin’ “look at where you’ve been”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar and every stumble
Got me standing here today
Wrap the past up like a present
Time to blow the doubt away
[Chorus]
Happy birthday to the guy in the mirror
Look at you
You made it here (oh yeah)
Another year of fighting through the fear
So raise a glass to every tear and cheer
Happy birthday to the guy in the mirror
You’re the one who stayed when it got rough
Today I’m learning how to call it love
Happy birthday to myself
[Verse 2]
Text from mom
She says she’s proud
Friends are typing “don’t grow up”
But the quiet feels like freedom
As I pour my own refills
[Pre-Chorus]
All the times I felt like failing
Still I’m lighting up this room
Little wish stuck on my tongue now
I’ll make space for something new
[Chorus]
Happy birthday to the guy in the mirror
Look at you
You made it here (hey!)
Another year of fighting through the fear
So raise a glass to every tear and cheer
Happy birthday to the guy in the mirror
You’re the one who stayed when it got tough
Today I’m learning how to call it love
Happy birthday to myself
[Bridge]
I don’t need a crowd to scream my name
Just a promise I won’t stay the same
I’ll be kinder to the face I see
Yeah
This year I show up for me (for me)
[Chorus]
Happy birthday to the guy in the mirror
Look at you
You made it here
Another year of fighting through the fear
So raise a glass to every tear and cheer
Happy birthday to the guy in the mirror
You’re the one who stayed when it got tough
Today I’m learning how to call it love
Happy birthday to myself (to myself)
Happy birthday to myself
