Aiden Goldsmith - Birthday Card Lyrics

It's been a minute.
Welcome to the album.
I cried myself to sleep last night,
Tucking the blanket under my chin
It always feels like something's missing
But can't put my finger on what it is
Woken up at 2 by the neighbors' dog
Sat up and had a little tea
Thought about the philosophy of greeting cards
Cause they're the hardest and the easiest to keep
I don't want you to be immortalized in a birthday card,
I don't want you living forever inside a baseball glove
And I don't want you to think for a second that I'm not affected by you moving on
Lit a candle and tried to be calm
But it took a lot longer than I thought
Sometimes the worst waves of grief
Come just when you think you've accepted everything
I don't want you to be immortalized in a birthday card
I don't want you living forever inside of some baseball glove
And I don't want you to think for a second that I could forget you
I hope that you know that I missed you writing a note in my birthday card this year
I don't want you to be immortalized in a memory
I don't want to have to pretend that you're next to me when you're not next to me
I don't want you to be up there waiting and I never make it
I hope you know that I miss you and think about how you impacted my life all along
