Verse 1
i know you're gone but don't forget me
say you'll hold on to our memories
cause i'll keep em safe and sound
in the box of hearts u made for me

Verse 2
if my tongue had been sure enough
to tell you what you meant to me
i'd only have to miss you
for a few hours at a time
and not foreveeeer

Chorus
and i know you tried your best to love me
but i guess i'm not what a mother needs
you need certainty and guarantees
but all i had for you was maybe

Verse 3
i wish i could've seen you that day
i think we could've made it work
oh if i had only called you more
then would you still be miiiine?...

please give me a maybeeeee

BRIDGE
i wish id said those 3 words more
why were they so hard to say
when i always knew they were true...
i love youuuu

Final Chorus(turns quiet)
you tried your best to love me
but i wasn't what you needed then.
i couldn't give you all of me
cause all i had was you.
and you needed guarantees
but all i gave you...

was a maybeeee

wrote this on my birthday, decided to see if anyone on reddit likes it

VERSE 1
it's tuesday afternoon
half my birthday's gone already
and nobody's wished me happy
but 1 friend and my parents

VERSE 2
after every one
the birthdays just get smaller.
and they keep on shrinking
until one day, you just die.

CHORUS 1
now it's just funny cards and money
no presents to unwrap
and no candles to blow out
there used to be a party
when my birthday came around

BRIDGE(?)
i don't think you'd show up
but i wish at least you'd call me
thought i'd have you til september
when my birthday came around

FINAL CHORUS
i've ooonly got foour friends left now
and i dont think anybody else would showww
if i have the money to throwww a party
when my birthday cooomes arooound next. yearrrr
