It's My Birthday

It's my birthday
You've barely spoken to me
I try not to cry
But there nothing I don't see

It's my birthday
But with other girls you'd rather talk
Your sister confronts you
Away from her you walk

It's my birthday
This isn't how I wanted it to go
Tell me what is wrong
Is there something I should know

It's my birthday
People tell me not to worry
That your just being an ass
I dismiss their words in a hurry

It's my birthday
You tell me you don't want to kiss
I nod like I understand
But I don't get any of this

It's my birthday
No "I love you" was said
My heart beats so slowly
It feels like lead

It's my birthday
I try to stay away from the crowd
Their voices and their questions
Are just too loud

It's my birthday
People sing to me
But they aren't the person
I want them to be

It's my birthday
You throw me a pointed glare
Sometimes I wonder
Why I even care

It's my birthday
A day of joy and laughter
I walk away to see if you'll follow
But me you don't come after

It's my birthday
A day with you I hoped to spend
But it doesn't happen
And the day is almost to an end

It's my birthday
I reach for my knife
I begin to cry and drop it
This isn't the answer to life

It's my birthday
Happy I pretend to look
But everyone knows it's fake
I'm like an open book

It's my birthday
I should be happy not sad
At some points I'm neither
Just plain mad

It's my birthday
It's almost through
What about us
Are we almost there too?

It's my birthday
A million questions I want to ask
But I just be quiet
And put on my happy mask

It's my birthday
Nothing feels the same
My heart feels heavy
Am I just a piece in your game

It's my birthday
I wait for a text from you
I won't give up hope
Even though I don't know what to do

It's my birthday
I'm seventeen
Another year older
More things to be seen

It's my birthday
If I want to I'll cry
Because your birthday wishes
Feel like a lie

It's my birthday
I sing myself the song
But the lyrics seem sad
The theme sounds wrong

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to Laura
Happy birthday to me

It's my birthday
I wished for you
I know it's supposed to be about me
But it's what I had to do

It's my birthday
I'm all alone
It's my birthday
I spent it by the phone
