Today is my birthday
I went and saw a film
All by myself
No one could be bothered
To come along with me
A cry for help
Why is it I can't be happy
Every year
For as long as I can remember
I cry every year
Today is my birthday
Sitting at home alone
Feeling sorry for myself
Even if it all went perfect
Don't think it'd change a thing
It never does
Skeletons in my closet
Hung up by someone else
Not my choice
And the trauma lingers
No matter how far away
Time won't heal
Ow-ow
Ruff ruff!
Why is it I can't be happy
Every year
For as long as I can remember
I cry every year
Today is my birthday
What have I learned
Another year
Tired of letting others
Define my future
And my past
And this pain will help me
Grow to new heights
A stepping stone
A fatal blows been missed
The knife in my chest
Doesn't hurt anymore
Next year I will be happy
And every other year
For as long as I will remember
Won't cry another tear
