Description
Here, love looks less like a movie drama and more like an awkward party alone: candles are burning, the phone is ringing, but it's not the right voice on the other end. It's funny and painful at the same time - congratulations come from everyone except the one you need. And all that's left is to joke about ‘happy birthday’ to yourself, while your thoughts revolve around the failed ‘what if’.
The song sounds like an admission that falling in love is a strange sport without rules: there are enough words to keep the conversation going, but there is no reason to close the distance. And this makes the simple truth even clearer - one-sided feelings teach you nothing but patience.
