birthday cake (duet)

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 'em

When nothing brings her back?

It's hard to know (to know) what she would say

But I think she'd

Want you to live like the world's on fire

Want you to love like hearts don't break (break)

Never look down when you walk the wire

Like she made it to 48, still made your birthday cake

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 send flowers with cards attached

She was so much more than that

Just her voice can make you happy

Wanna call her up so badly

It's hard to know (to know) what she would say (say)

But I think she'd

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 48, still made your birthday cake

I want you to love

I want you to love (want you to love)

I want you to love, want you to love

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

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 48, still made your birthday cake
