Lyric

The lights are bright and the music’s loud

Everybody’s laughing in the crowd

Paper hats and balloons in the air

But I keep looking — you’re not there

I baked the cake and I wore that dress

The one you said you liked the best

All my friends say “just have some fun”

But the night’s not how it was begun

So let the record spin tonight

Let the candles burn too bright

If my smile falls apart

It’s just a party, not my heart

You walked in late by the doorway light

Someone else was holding you tight

Everybody turned to see

But no one looked as hard as me

The band keeps playing one more song

Like nothing here is going wrong

But every note just seems to say

Love can change in a single day

So let the record spin tonight

Let the candles burn too bright

If my tears start to show

It’s just the music, they don’t know

Maybe tomorrow I’ll laugh again

Maybe this will just be a game

But tonight the room can see

What a party means to me

Let the record spin tonight

Let the laughter fill the room

If my heart breaks in two

It’ll fade away by noon
