Happy birthday, King
I know I'm a month late
I tried to tell you on the day
But I think you were avoiding me
And maybe I was avoiding you
Maybe we avoided each other
So, how was it?
What did you do?
I mean, eighteen's a pretty big deal
I think so anyway
Remember last year?
I wished you a happy birthday
And you confided that
He did not
That broke my heart
And I wanted to be there
For each one
But this year
I wasn't
King?
Would you like me to be there
For the next one?
Did he say "Happy Birthday"
This year?
