Birthday Clown (Acoustic Version)

I never really cared much for birthdays
Until I found the letter you once wrote me on mine
You said that you loved me
Written in fine ink on the last line
When the next year rolled around
I looked forward to a message from you
Maybe you sent it and it never went through
Or maybe you forgot or had something better to do

When my next next birthday rolls around
Hopefully I'll know better than to expect you to text
And to reread your birthday letter

They say "blow the candles out"
I'm the birthday clown and I'll meet you when the lights go down
I keep getting older and everything is changing
"Blow the candles out"
I'm the birthday clown and I want you in the worst way now
Another year
I'm still scared of aging

The cake's got more salt and my face has less tears
I never planned to make it past twelve and it's a weird feeling
When every birthday was supposed to be the last
(Blow the candles out as the sun goes down)

I never really cared much for birthdays
Until I found the letter you once wrote me on mine
When my next birthday rolls around
Maybe then I'll know better than toe expect you to text
And to reread your birthday letter

"Blow the candles out"
I'm the birthday clown and I'll meet you when the lights go down
I keep getting older and everything is changing
"Blow the candles out"
I'm the birthday clown and I want you in the worst way now
Another year
I'm still scared of aging

The cake's got more salt and my face has less tears
I never planned to make it past twelve And it's a weird feeling
When every birthday was supposed to be the last
(Blow the candles out as the sun goes down)
(Blow the candles out)
(I'm the birthday clown)
