Carmen’s Birthday

Lyrics

[Verse]
Under dim lights at Justine's place,
Carmen turned a year older today,
She ordered Prosecco with a smile so bright,
Celebratin' life in a quiet, gentle way.

[Verse 2]
A toast to the moments, a toast to the friends,
Laughs and stories that'd never end,
She raised her glass as the bubbles rose,
Never suspecting what the night would disclose.

[Chorus]
Oh Carmen, on a night so fair,
In your laughter, an unaware snare,
For a drink so pure with a bitter bite,
Left a shadow on your radiant light.

[Verse 3]
Three strangers lingered with hidden intent,
A cruel joke, emotions' descent,
The glass she held, so sparkling, fine,
Concealed a darkness in its confine.

[Bridge]
Innocence shattered, trust betrayed,
In a world where shadows often invade,
Lost in the moment, an unforgiving truth,
On her birthday night, a stolen youth.

[Verse 4]
Carmen's eyes, they welled with tears,
As the bitter taste confirmed her fears,
Her heart, it broke but she stood tall,
Faced with cruelty, amidst it all.
