Birthday

Tonight's my birthday
My special day
Oh the delight
In such a dreadful way
But I don't celebrate
I don't blow the candles flame
I don't make wishes, don't ask for presents
Don't ask childhood stories from my parents

I reminisce
I cry a little
Trying to remember what changed, what didn't
I smile
Daydreaming
Remembering the feelings
Joy and happiness
Tears and smiles
All of it so full of life

So I sit here
With a glass of wine
Thinking of the ways of life
Thinking how it all goes by
Thinking how it changes us, how it feeds us lies

Tonight's my birthday
But I don't celebrate
I don't have any wishes, don't have any cake
Just a glass of wine full of broken dreams
And it upsets me no more, it feels perfect to me
