## Lyrics
[verse]
Balloons are swaying, colored lights are low,
Everybody's laughing but I don't feel the glow.
I baked the cake myself and wore my favorite dress,
So why's there such an ache beneath my happiness.

[chorus]
Nobody sees the tears behind my smile tonight,
Nobody sees how far away you drifted from my side.
I'm blowing out these candles all alone in the crowd,
Wishing you were here now, wishing on a cloud.

[verse]
I saved the biggest slice for him beside the door,
Kept glancing at the clock like I'd done a hundred times before.
Someone turns the music up to drown my crooked smile,
But every song tonight just makes the minutes crawl a mile.

[chorus]
Nobody sees the tears behind my smile tonight,
Nobody sees how far away you drifted from my side.
I'm blowing out these candles all alone in the crowd,
Wishing you were here now, wishing on a cloud.

[bridge]
Blow the candles out, make a wish I can't undo,
Wishing on a star for something I already knew.
The room is full of friends but I feel so alone,
Wrapped in paper ribbons, sitting here on my own.

[chorus]
Nobody sees the tears behind my smile tonight,
Nobody sees how far away you drifted from my side.
I'm blowing out these candles all alone in the crowd,
Wishing you were here now, wishing on a cloud.
