You should've been there
Should've burst
through the door
with that 'baby
I'm right here smile
And it would've felt like
a million little shining
stars had just aligned
And I would've been so happy
Christmas lights glisten
I've got my eye on the door
Just waiting for you to walk in
But the time is ticking
People ask me how I've been
as I comb back
through the memory
How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in
my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
As I'm looking
around the room
But there was
one thing missing
And that was
the moment I knew
And the hours passed by
Now I just wanna be alone
But your close friends
always seem to know
When there's
something really wrong
So they follow me
down the hall
And there in the bathroom
I try not to fall apart
And the sinking feeling starts
as I say hopelessly
He said he'd be here
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in
my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
And asking me about you
But there was
one thing missing
And that was
the moment I knew
What do you say
when tears are streaming
down your face
in front of everyone you know
And what do you
do when the one
who means the most to you
is the one who didn't show
You should've been here
And I would've been so happy
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in
my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all standing
around me singing
Happy Birthday to you
But there was
one thing missing
And that was
the moment I knew
Ooh I knew
Ooh
You called me later
And said I'm sorry
I didn't make it
And I said I'm sorry too
And that was
the moment I knew
