"BIRTHDAY" lyrics
Happy birthday
My wish is I won't cry this time
And it'll be okay
Blow the candles, leave the smoke made behind
I keep saying I'll grow out this
That these words are only made in my mind
So why am I still struggling?
Self-awareness won't save us this time
As I'm getting older, I am less aligned
Watching friends hurt themselves
To feel at all we share the meds doctors prescribed
When I call for help, they're the same as I
But we sit together in our burning house
And use the warmth to shine a light
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
I'm pleading my ignorance
I'm lucky to have such a plea
I had to turn off the TV
If I ever wanted to be happy?
I sold my teenage years
I sold my teenage years
Now I pay back that debt in therapy
I just want how I used to be
All I have left is misanthropy
As I'm getting older, I am less aligned
Watching friends hurt themselves
To feel at all we share the meds doctors prescribed
When I call for help, they're the same as I
But we sit together in our burning house
And use the warmth to shine a light
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
Did God abandon his children?
Wish I was young and naive
It's made a nihilist out of me
Did God abandon his children?
Wish I was young and naive
It's made a nihilist out of me
So please, someone hold me
Say happy birthday to me
If life's no meaning
I'll get older and ignore the feeling
Please, someone hold me
Say happy birthday to me
If life's no meaning
I'll get older and ignore the feeling
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
My wish is I won't cry this time
And it'll be okay
Blow the candles, leave the smoke made behind
I keep saying I'll grow out this
That these words are only made in my mind
So why am I still struggling?
Self-awareness won't save us this time
As I'm getting older, I am less aligned
Watching friends hurt themselves
To feel at all we share the meds doctors prescribed
When I call for help, they're the same as I
But we sit together in our burning house
And use the warmth to shine a light
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
I don't know what it feels like to live that way
To know I'm not alone and you feel the same
It hurts to live this long, and always say
Maybe next year I won't cry on my birthday
I'm pleading my ignorance
I'm lucky to have such a plea

Please, someone hold me
