What's another breath I'm too numb to feel
What's another blown-out candle on another year
What's another unopened greeting card in my top drawer
They're all yours
Next to my bed I keep your picture in a frame
With a short prayer from when the preacher said, bow your heads and pray
The fucking lucky world held you for nearly two decades
Then took you away
Happy nineteenth birthday
Happy nineteenth birthday
Happy nineteenth birthday
From a lifetime away
You'd wear that flowered scarf wrapped around your beautiful mind
All the days I left you home I did't know I didn't have much time
You would laugh and I'd smile about the years flown by
Then I'd step outside
Happy nineteenth birthday
Happy nineteenth birthday
Happy nineteenth birthday
From a lifetime away
I got tired of cursing I got tired of spitting at heaven
Realized time was our deadliest weapon
I held your hand in that sterile bed with your bracelets of tubes
And I would sing to you
Happy nineteenth birthday
Happy nineteenth birthday
Happy nineteenth birthday
From a lifetime away
What's another breath I'm too numb to feel
What's another blown-out candle on another year?
