Half a Cake

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] Birthday candles flare in the small room The round cream cake waits for two spoons [Verse 1] Summer noon, we sit on the old floral mat No party, no guests, just us You pluck the strawberry cream gently onto the plate Then push the other half toward me [Pre-Chorus] No need for the whole cake to feel full and warm No need for too much to know we're cared for [Chorus] Half a cake is enough When shared with someone who gets you Half a cake is enough Twice as sweet because a friend's beside [Verse 2] The cream melts, running between our fingers We laugh till we cry at the cream on our lips The half-burnt candle still glows at noon That light warmer than any chandelier [Chorus] Half a cake is enough When shared with someone who gets you Half a cake is enough Twice as sweet because a friend's beside [Bridge] People count each slice to see who gets more We count each smile to see who's happier The tiny cake divided evenly to the heart [Chorus] Half a cake is enough When shared with someone who gets you Half a cake is enough Twice as sweet because a friend's beside [Outro] The other half of the cake I tuck it in the fridge [Fade Out] [End]
