Another Happy Day

I'll be honest
Behind these armors
Was a girl all alone
Just skin and bones
Going slightly mad
With all that she had
To forget

I'll be honest
Dried in thirst
I almost tried
To put an end
Those years I cried
For heaven to send
A friend

I could have hurt so many more
If I'd broken nature's law
I could have missed out on it all
Turned to dust, nothing more

But here I am
Still blood
Runnin' in my veins
On a patched wrist, uncut
I'm finally out of the dark
Happy birthday to me
I'd never thought I'd see
Another happy day
I used to say
Crazy things, insane
Drivin' drunk on fast lanes
Glad I hit the break
And I finally broke
These patterns and now
I'll blow the candles on my cake
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday my love

It's scary to grow
Older each day
Treating age cold
Wrinkles forced into play
Nodding to years
Trying best to ignore
Our fears.
Yet if I didn't
Breathe each second
Each minute life beckoned
Then I wouldn't
Have had any of this
A life high on your kiss
A life basking in bliss

I could have hurt so many more
If I'd broken nature's law
I could have missed out on it all
Turned to dust, nothing more

But here I am
Still blood
Runnin' in my veins
On a patched wrist, uncut
I'm finally out of the dark
Happy birthday to me
I'd never thought I'd see
Another happy day
I used to say
Crazy things, insane
Drivin' drunk on fast lanes
Glad I hit the break
And I finally broke
These patterns and now
I'll blow the candles on my cake
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday my love

This shadow
towering me
Ahead or behind
You were always mine
Cut out from the light
Even in darkest nights

Why was I scared
Should have just cared
My lonely companion
An unsung devotion
Stitched to me from birth
By the light of my worth

Yeah here I am
Still blood
Runnin' in my veins
On a patched wrist, uncut
I'm finally out of the dark
Happy birthday to me
I'd never thought I'd see
Another happy day
I used to say
Crazy things, insane
Drivin' drunk on fast lanes
Glad I hit the break
And I finally broke
These patterns and now
I'll blow the candles on my cake
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday my love
