Happy Sad Birthday

Why is it every single birthday
I spend some time wiping my tears away
Need a minute to reflect on my year
Getting older is something I fear

With 22 ringing my line
I travel some way back in time
Wishing I could hit the car brakes
And go back to year 16's first date

Something I would have told my young self
Is to live for me & no one else
Stop caring what the masses think
And just keep on moving to your own blinks

A few wise years under my belt
Why can't I still ask for help
Go to parties when i'm feeling lonely
Rooms of people who just don't know me

Happy sad birthday to me
I wish that I was kidding
Maybe this year i'll know myself
Better than i know anyone else

Happy sad birthday to me
What age can I stop counting
Maybe next year i'll hold them back
And stop getting sad about years that passed

Close my eyes and wish on candles
Fighting time is an uphill battle
Cross my fingers and trust I wished right
It's the one day that's mine till midnight

Thinking back it's a bad game to play
When i'm waiting around for payday
And I fear that my futures dull
And hoping my cup will stay half full

Taking leaps like a frog on lilies
Hard to sleep when my minds too busy
Trying hard to understand myself
Its easier acting like someone else

This year the air feels lighter
Back on my two feet i'm feeling brighter
Feeling doubt is the human way
Just know everything will be okay

Happy sad birthday to me
I wish that I was kidding
Maybe this year I'll know myself
Better than i know anyone else

Happy sad birthday to me
What age can I stop counting
Maybe next year i'll hold them back
And stop getting sad about years that passed

Happy sad birthday to me
I wish that I was kidding
Maybe this year i'll know myself
Better than i know anyone else

Happy sad birthday to me
What age can I stop counting
Maybe next year i'll hold them back
And stop getting sad about years that passed
