"Happy Birthday" lyrics

I wrote you a letter, I wish you could read it
I'm sure that you can, but I wish I could see
The expressions you give, the things I would give
Just to see you again, to just hold your hand

Happy birthday, I still miss your face
I wish you were here, I am missing you dearly
I want your soul fierce, but I know you're still with me
Oh, happy birthday, it's just not the same
Without you nearby, oh, the tears that I cry
Can't hold them inside, but I know that you're smiling on me

The tear stains are caught between lines of that blank page
How could all my thoughts even fit all the whole space
I know it's so heavy, my heart has been breaking
Well, it has been broken for a while

Not deep on the surface where pen meets the paper
But inside I'm torn, and it's deeper than ever
So blow out the candles, I'll make a wish for you
But just please remember the love I have for you

Happy birthday, I still miss your face
I wish you were here, I am missing you dearly
I want you so fierce, but I know you're still with me
Oh, happy birthday, it's just not the same
Without you nearby, oh, the tears that I cry
Can't hold them inside, but I know that you're smiling on me

Happy birthday, it's just not the same
Without you nearby, oh, the tears that I cry
Can't hold them inside, but I know that you're smiling on me

Happy birthday, oh
