Your Day

Your birthday was today

I never knew how to celebrate

Even though I should relate

To empty gut punch pain

It's never enough

Words don’t add up

How do I tell you myself?

That your day isn’t what it should’ve been

But I can’t put it back on the shelf

It makes me sad to think

It’s just another day

The year is long, a few moves from moving on

They don’t tell you how hard this is to shake

I wish the good lasted, longer than the bad did

But It never seems to work out that way

We’ll never forget your day

We always toast to you

Every trip around the sun

Even though you never saw it once

I would’ve loved it if you did

The thoughts in my head

Can’t put to rest

Forgetting it feels like it’s wrong

My brain aches more than my body does

How do people like me get along?

It makes me sad to think

It’s just another day

The year is long, a few moves from moving on

They don’t tell you how hard this is to shake

I wish the good lasted, longer than the bad did

But It never seems to work out that way

We’ll never forget your day

I really wish I could describe to you

To make you understand about my year

Being scared of something, even if it’s well above you

Doesn’t mean you wouldn’t love to, doesn’t mean you wouldn’t love to

The year is long, a few moves from moving on

They don’t tell you how hard this is to shake

I wish the good lasted, longer than the bad did

But It never seems to work out that way

We’ll never forget your day
