Lyric

You don’t know, but I stayed up late

Just to see the clock turn twelve

Typed a message, then erased it—

Guess I’ll keep it to myself

I know she’s the one beside you now

Laughing under birthday lights

And here I am with this little cake

Wishing I had the right

Happy birthday, my secret love

Hope your wish tonight comes true

Even if it’s not with me

I still wish the best for you

I’ll smile like I don’t care

Blow a kiss into the air—

Happy birthday, to someone who’s not mine

♪

Remember when we talked for hours

Before she came into the frame?

I played it cool, but every glance

Lit my heart like a flame

And I know I’m just a friend—

One of many in the crowd

But if you heard this quiet song

Would it make you turn around?

Happy birthday, my almost dream

Hope she knows how lucky she is

If I could’ve had just one wish

It would’ve been your kiss

But I’ll stay behind the line

Loving you in silent rhyme—

Happy birthday, to someone who’s not mine
