I Baked My Own Cake

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] Flour dusts white on my shirt The oven warms up minute by minute [Verse 1] Beating eggs, my arm tires but my heart's glad Reading the recipe from an old page Pouring in the round pan, no need to be neat As long as it smells good, that's enough [Pre-Chorus] No one sent a cake box over So I crack eggs just for me [Chorus] I baked my own cake Celebrating another year with my own two hands I baked my own cake Sweet from the sugar I stirred myself [Verse 2] The frosting's clumsy, smeared in a corner But looking at it, it's so dear I cut the first slice and smile Wishing myself a light, easy year [Chorus] I baked my own cake Celebrating another year with my own two hands I baked my own cake Sweet from the sugar I stirred myself [Bridge] Maybe no one remembers this day But I remember, and that's enough Loving myself from the small things [Chorus] I baked my own cake Celebrating another year with my own two hands I baked my own cake Sweet from the sugar I stirred myself [Outro] The candlelight shimmers on my face I hum a quiet congratulations [Fade Out] [End]
