​birthday cake (duet) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dylan Conrique]
You called with the news, I thought you were kidding
You were always joking all the time
You kept breathing but stopped living, held it like poison inside
They say everything happens for a reason but it only makes you mad
'Cause how in the hell can you believe them, when nothing brings her back?

[Pre-Chorus: Dylan Conrique]
It's hard to know what she would say
But I think she'd…

[Chorus: Dylan Conrique]
Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break (Don't break)
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to forty-eight
Still made your birthday cake

[Verse 2: Alexander Stewart]
I know it's unfair, I know that you're angry
'Cause she went somewhere, she couldn't take her baby
Sometimes you swear you can hear her making coffee
When nobody's there, you feel like you're crazy
People sending flowers with cards attached
She was so much more than that
Just her voice can make you happy
Wanna call her up so badly
[Pre-Chorus: Dylan Conrique & Alexander Stewart]
It's hard to know what she would say
But I think she'd…

[Chorus: Dylan Conrique & Alexander Stewart]
Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to forty-eight
Still made your birthday cake (Cake)

[Post-Chorus: Dylan Conrique, Alexander Stewart]
Want you to live
Want you to love
Want you to live, want you to love

[Chorus: Dylan Conrique & Alexander Stewart]
Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it, she made it (Oh-oh)
Want you to live like the world's on fire
Want you to love like hearts don't break
Never look down when you walk the wire
Like she made it to forty-eight
Still made your birthday cake

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
