On My Birthday
I always end up crying
On my birthday -
It always ends up
On a weekday -
It always ends up
That my busiest day
Was the day that I was born -
It always ends up with me
Coming home and wanting
To go to sleep and miss the party -
I always end up crying
In my bed, all alone -
No matter how much people try
On my birthday
