Got a call from my mother who wishes she was here A couple cards in the post that I'm reading I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear The only plus is the sweater, I need it I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone. This is the life in the city, and that's the way it goes But it's a fine excuse just to leave it I hit 'em up and I asked, "Are you coming over?" And all I got was a shrug and an "I don't know" And everyone I know is hidden away Trying to make their bodies clean again And they don't want to celebrate Nobody cares this is the day I was born Always the month when parties come to an end The same excuses from every friend Another year and now we're here again Nobody cares this is the day I was born Another birthday alone La-la-lay-la-la-lay Another birthday alone La-la-lay-la-la-lay I hit a bar in town, give my card to start a tab Every day that we're here, well, we're never getting back And so I'll drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack And end up talking to strangers and find another plan I end the night in the cab, head spinning, on my own Watching pointless things and flicking through my phone And would April be better? I guess I'll never know I take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower I'm heading down and now I'm on a roll And everyone I know is hidden away Trying to make their bodies clean again And they don't want to celebrate Nobody cares this is the day I was born Always the month when parties come to an end The same excuses from every friend Another year and now we're here again Nobody cares this is the day I was born Another birthday alone La-la-lay-la-la-lay Another birthday alone La-la-lay-la-la-lay I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower I'm heading down and now I'm on a roll And everyone I know is hidden away Trying to make their bodies clean again And they don't want to celebrate Nobody cares this is the day I was born Always the month when parties come to an end The same excuses from every friend Another year and now we're here again Nobody cares this is the day I was born Another birthday alone La-la-lay-la-la-lay Another birthday alone La-la-lay-la-la-lay
