This is my party, this is my party
And I'm afraid that no one will come
That no one will come
I've been away, I've been away
I've always had something else
Maybe I've been forgotten
There's always a reason, for why I don't show up
I have a busy evening or an early morning
I'll try to come but don't dare to promise
Have fun, I'll be there in spirit
There's no time or reason to celebrate
Cold comfort, but at least you got flowers again
Plants tell about a bad conscience
Again one housewarming that wasn't crowded
How did we become so difficult?
Social pressure to perform
It's impossible to make any plans with me
And at parties I'm like E.T. I want back home
This is my party, this is my party
And I'm afraid that no one will come
That no one will come
I've been away, I've been away
I've always had something else
Maybe I've been forgotten
And if I invite you
At least you will come, right?
At least you will come, right?
And if I invite you
At least you will come, right?
At least you will come, right?
Your housewarmings, your masquerades
Season openers, Sunday breakfasts
Away, I've been away so much
And today is my party and no one's on time
I've had to strike away, since we got the iron hot
And if I wasn't at work, I was too drunk
The fruits of my labor don't console much even in my wallet1
When I wait for the doorbell to ring alone at my place
I've neglected those who want to keep me close
When we meet we don't hug but distantly shake hands
I don't even have the nerve to lie that I'm innocent
Here's my public apology
This is my party, this is my party
And I'm afraid that no one will come
That no one will come
I've been away, I've been away
I've always had something else
Maybe I've been forgotten
And if I invite you
At least you will come, right?
At least you will come, right?
And if I invite you
At least you will come, right?
At least you will come, right?
