Sweet Sixteen Candles Songtext
von Magdaleine de Lioncourt

Sweet sixteen candles
I′ve scattered all over my room
Topped the white angel food cake
With a big 1 and 6 instead of a cherry
Just to try to impress you

From the moment i parted from my mothers womb
You planted nasty seeds inside of me
For years i thought flowers would grow
But all i coughed up were weeds and poison ivy

We dance across the living room floor
I'm feeling like the color blue
For sixteen years, i thought i′d never recover
But thankfully, now i did
And it's all because of you


Sweet sixteen candles
I tried so hard to forgive you
I couldn't care less for a grandmother′s promise
To be quite honest, all i ever wanted was the truth

I wanted to say, "yes I wouldn′t cry"
Fiercely indulged by friendly eyes
Patient to see the flames burn out by my breath break through
And on my sixteenth birthday
I wished for you

Now you're lying there grimly in your grave
A son′s cum stained bed is something so depraved
I don't know why i let myself cry
Where a soul used to be, sucked empty
Behind those starlet blue eyes

You′ll never know how much i loved you so
From the day i turned three to the sixteenth hollowed ghost
Limbs to ashes and ashes to lie
Your son was never by your side

Now the rabid dog inside me has calmed down
There is no bad blood between us now
