Lyrics

[00:01.96] .
[00:05.10] .
[00:06.16] .
[00:14.86] Sixteen finds me
[00:18.17] Blowing out candles and making wishes
[00:21.05] And all around me
[00:24.49] Is everyone but the one I'm wishing for
[00:27.86] And he sent me flowers
[00:30.93] And gift-wrapped excuses
[00:33.80] From a daddy whose daughter
[00:36.80] Wants to see him again
[00:39.30] .
[00:39.74] And I know, I know
[00:43.11] It's just another birthday
[00:45.80] But I guess I thought
[00:49.37] This would be the one
[00:51.74] When he would call me, see me
[00:55.55] Hold me and free me
[01:01.80] But it's just another birthday
[01:05.68] .
[01:06.30] And I'll be fine
[01:12.61] I'll be fine
[01:18.11] .
[01:19.42] Nineteen finds me
[01:22.99] And I'm wild-eyed and wide open
[01:25.92] I gave myself away to love
[01:28.55] But backseat promises fade like a mist
[01:32.36] I'm screaming at the midnight air
[01:35.68] Everyone hears me but I don't care
[01:38.30] My heart's clenched just like a fist
[01:41.24] 'Cause, people, I didn't ask for any of this
[01:44.55] .
[01:44.80] And I know, I know
[01:47.55] It's just another birthday
[01:50.43] But I guess I thought
[01:54.00] This would be the one
[01:56.30] When he would call me, see me
[01:59.49] Hold me and free me
[02:06.18] But it's just another birthday
[02:10.30] .
[02:10.99] And I'm not fine
[02:17.12] I'm not fine
[02:20.43] .
[02:24.93] In the company of strangers
[02:27.74] In a cold and sterile room
[02:30.68] All alone with a child inside me
[02:33.68] And I don't know what to do
[02:36.74] Jesus, can You hear me
[02:40.11] Come and heal my brokenness
[02:43.05] Put the pieces back together
[02:45.93] And be a Father to the fatherless
[02:50.30] .
[03:03.68] A Father to the fatherless
[03:06.68] .
[03:16.68] Twenty-one finds me
[03:19.74] Blowing out candles and making wishes
[03:22.68] And all around me
[03:25.74] My barefoot princess twirls and sings
[03:28.62] It's so amazing
[03:32.24] Looking back at all God's brought us through
[03:35.49] You are my happy birthday
[03:38.24] And you were born to break the chains
[03:41.05] .
[03:41.43] Now I know, I know
[03:44.49] It's not just another birthday
[03:47.12] 'Cause I'm here, she's here
[03:50.62] And look how far we've come
[03:53.43] Since you've called me, saw me
[03:57.12] Held me and freed me
[04:03.05] Thank you, Lord, for another birthday
[04:08.05] And we'll be fine
[04:14.36] We'll be fine
[04:18.01] .
