happy birthday to me
another year older, so what?
i don't care
i wish i could go back
to the time where i could happily
walk over all these dead bodies
and happily sweep the skeletons into my closet
not realizing what they once were
happy birthday to me
it's just another day
it doesn't mean anything to me
it's more for other people
around me who can say things like
"happy birthday!"
i don't mind that they say that
i just wish it actually made me feel something
i wish that today could be happy
today is a happy day
but it's also a sad day
it's just like every other day
how can you be so very happy
and so very sad at the same time?
i don't know
happy birthday to me
i'm too old to feel excited
too young to feel tired
but i feel both
or well, actually just
the latter because
i'm not excited
again, it's just another day
it's just another day
i don't want another birthday
i don't want any birthdays
i don't want to celebrate me
i want to celebrate you
but happy birthday to me,
happy birthday to me
happy birthday dear me...
happy birthday to me
nevermind

For tomorrow. :)
