Happy Birthday

You're turning 25 today, hope you have a happy birthday I hope you turn around and look back, now that you're a quarter of the way I hope you see everything and everyone that you've left in your wake But even if you could, would you change When you close your eyes at night, I wonder what you see Do you play the victim every time you replay your memories But don't you see, in everything you touch, the pattern that repeats Your power, you'll do anything to keep Like a page out of the textbook, you're the perfect poster child Took all the life out of me just to make yours worthwhile You put me under your knife, then blamed me when I cried You knew just what you were doing, 'cause you've done it all your life I'm turning 19 on Thursday, and I'm picking up where I left off But I can't go back to where I was before you came and took it all 'Cause just like you wanted, I'm blaming myself for the damage that you caused The cuts you made are bleeding long after you're gone Like a page out of the textbook, you're the perfect poster child Took all the life out of me just to make yours worthwhile You put me under your knife, then blamed me when I cried You knew just what you were doing, 'cause you've done it all your life You might've made me your victim, but really, I survived I'll pick up and I'll move on, but this is who you are for life Like a page out of the textbook, you're the perfect poster child Took all the life out of me just to make yours worthwhile You put me under your knife, then blamed me when I cried You knew just what you were doing You knew just what you were doing, 'cause you've done it all your life You're turning 25 today, hope you have a happy birthday
