Happy Birthday
Another year gone by
Yeah, who gives a darn?
I'm drowning in a sea of a hundred and fifty happy birthday wishes
From a hundred forty nine strangers.
Even the special ones don't seem so great
When all you can think about is the void
The void you feel when you realize not who's there
but who's not there.
Who didn't I see?
I see a hundred forty nine strangers pass by
When the one person I truly want isn't ever here.
So here's to another year
May it be exactly like ones past.
And here's to all the same fears
My only friends that seem to last.
