The Day I Was Born

Got a call from my mother who wishes she was here

A couple cards in the post that I'm reading

I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear

The only plus is the sweater, I need it

I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago

If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone

This is the life in the city, and that's the way it goes

But it's a fine excuse just to leave it

I hit 'em up and I asked, "Are you coming over?"

And all I got was a shrug and an "I don't know"

And everyone I know is hidden away

Trying to make their bodies clean again

And they don't want to celebrate

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Always the month when parties come to an end

The same excuses from every friend

Another year and now we're here again

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay-la-la-lay

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay-la-la-lay

I hit a bar in town, give my card to start a tab

Every day that we're here, well, we're never getting back

And so I'll drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack

And end up talking to strangers and find another plan

I end the night in the cab, head spinning on my own

Watching pointless shit and flicking through my phone

And would April be better? I guess I'll never know

I take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home

And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower

I'm heading down and now I'm on a roll

And everyone I know is hidden away

Trying to make their bodies clean again

And they don't want to celebrate

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Always the month when parties come to an end

The same excuses from every friend

Another year and now we're here again

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay-la-la-lay

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay-la-la-lay

I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower

I'm heading down and now I'm on a roll

And everyone I know is hidden away

Trying to make their bodies clean again

And they don't want to celebrate

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Always the month when parties come to an end

The same excuses from every friend

Another year and now we're here again

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay-la-la-lay

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay-la-la-lay
