A Year To The Day

This year, I'll light the candles alone.

A year ago today I was a fool.

And I believed in heroes,

and dragons,

and us.



We were laying out under the night sky. You and me, we'll never die.



Huddled there we lied in the dark.

I tried to figure out who you are.

All along the car ride home,

Promises and broken bones

And things I wish I'd said.

Oh to do it all over again.



This year, I'll light the candles alone.

A year ago today I was a fool.

And I believed in heroes,

And dragons,

And us.



And now the scent's returned.

Snow has thawed,

I have learned.

What's too good to be true most always is.

I never wanted to be like this.



I've got to get out, I've got to get out. We're starting this thing over right now. Keep this for your scrap book of memories,

take it out and remember me someday, and know I've never changed.



This year, I'll light the candles alone.

A year ago today I was a fool.

And I believed in heroes,

and dragons,

and us.

Surprise, surprise I'm still alive

Your birthday wishes all just died.

You closed your eyes blew out the candles,

Prayed to God that I'd be strangled, Anything to never hear me again.
