Birthday (Unfiltered)
Today is my birthday
Come buy me a drink
I'll watch the ice cubes float
And the olives, they sink
Today is my birthday
I'm out on the town
I'm looking for trouble, but
I'll only drown
I don't believe in "the one" they talk about
But I don't believe that I'll ever feel the same
I don't buy into the thought of destiny
But I can't stop crying whenever I hear your name
Today is my birthday
But I'm home alone
Ten months since I kissed you
Two since you've been gone
Today is my birthday
I'll sleep on the floor
I'd get into bed, but
You've been there before
Can't explain why, but you meant so much to me
I know for sure that I'd rather be with you than sleep alone
It's dark outside, I don't want to face the light
Been quite a ride, but I think this is my night
"Today was his birthday"
Mother spits out through tears
Cop smiles, nods, and whispers
"He lived some good years"
Next year on my birthday
I won't be around
Hope you want to see me, but
I'll be in the ground
Bet you wish that you hadn't missed your chance
Tried for a while, but I couldn't catch your glance
Why is it now that I'm gone you want me back
Why is it now that I'm gone you want me back
Today is my birthday
Come buy me a drink
I'll watch the ice cubes float
And the olives, they sink
Today is my birthday
I'm out on the town
I'm looking for trouble, but
I'll only drown
I don't believe in "the one" they talk about
But I don't believe that I'll ever feel the same
I don't buy into the thought of destiny
But I can't stop crying whenever I hear your name
Today is my birthday
But I'm home alone
Ten months since I kissed you
Two since you've been gone
Today is my birthday
I'll sleep on the floor
I'd get into bed, but
You've been there before
Can't explain why, but you meant so much to me
I know for sure that I'd rather be with you than sleep alone
It's dark outside, I don't want to face the light
Been quite a ride, but I think this is my night
"Today was his birthday"
Mother spits out through tears
Cop smiles, nods, and whispers
"He lived some good years"
Next year on my birthday
I won't be around
Hope you want to see me, but
I'll be in the ground
Bet you wish that you hadn't missed your chance
Tried for a while, but I couldn't catch your glance
Why is it now that I'm gone you want me back
Why is it now that I'm gone you want me back
Today is my birthday
