Do you ever count the years I lost to you?
They're only words, I know
You're only you
I'm only me...
And already, twenty-nine
See, just the other day
Childhood fell on my back and
Somehow I couldn't look around
For fear that a glance
Would drag me down
Oh such innocence I once conceived
Falling and fading
But never contemplating
I was just a baby then
Maybe thirty in your eyes
Foolish I was and the wiser I am not
This year I must inform you, sadly:
I can only put one candle on the cake.
