"HBD" lyrics

I wish you happy birthday then immediately regret it
'Cause I'd rather we forget it than perpetuate our discontent
I never know exactly what to do or say on this day
'Cause I miss the way you laugh, girl, you say we have no chance

But happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

I hope you're well
My dearest friend
But please don't call me back
This has gotta end

I wish you happy birthday but don't mean it really
Just want you to see it and be reminded of me, honestly
It's just to keep that balloon barely in the air enough to tell you
I'm still here for that someday, though you say your heart won't change

But happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

I hope you're well
My dearest friend
But please don't call me back
This has gotta end
(We tried everything, we tried everything)

We tried everything, we tried everything, we tried everything you know
How sad it is that this just couldn't [?], babe
We tried everything, we tried everything, we tried everything you know
How sad it is that two good people couldn't agree

But happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday (happy birthday)
Happy birthday (happy birthday)

I hope you're well (happy birthday)
My dearest friend (happy birthday, happy birthday)
But please don't call me back (happy birthday)
This has gotta end (happy birthday, happy birthday)
I hope you're well (happy birthday)
My dearest friend (happy birthday, happy birthday)
But please don't call me back (happy birthday)
This has gotta end (happy birthday)
This has gotta end (happy birthday)
This has gotta end
