Lyrics

Blowing out the candles is my least favorite
Everybody loves cake, but I kinda hate it
Funny how a day can make the time speed up
You make a wish, and then you blink, and then your life's all gone
Gone are the days where you wave your hands like you don't care
It's hard to dance when the tunes you like don't get played there
And just cause you were born today
Doesn't mean that all your problems are gonna go away
Cause the bills add up
Stress adds up
But people in your life bought you brand new stuff
Gather round the cake on a Saturday
I could be grateful, but I'm sadder today
Sadder today
Sadder today
Sadder today
The flames go out
I burn myself
I need some help
So I don't end up sleeping in hell
It's that time that day again
Get a text from mom and a text from friends
Thinking bout how last year went
Got me kinda wishing I could stay in bed
Cause I'm tired now and this ain't worth it
It's like you get a job just to lose your purpose
Like why am I trying to get through the week?
To be eighty and maybe get to be a tourist?
I'm sorry I'm getting ahead of myself
But birthdays are really my personal hell
They remind me of ways that I didn't excell
Of course I'm grateful you're wishing me well
I am I'm truly grateful for those that love me
But catching a new wrinkle in the mirror is tough see
Fuck blowing out canldes I need to get blown
Once the cake gets cut y'all can leave me alone
Cause I'm mad the ways that I still haven't grown
Will I be here in a year?
I really don't know
Life goes by in a fucking hurry
So I guess you can say that I hate my birthday
Cause the bills add up
Stress adds up
But people in your life bought you brand new stuff
Gather round the cake on a Saturday
I could be grateful, but I'm sadder today
Sadder today
Sadder today
Sadder today
The flames go out
I burn myself
I need some help
So I don't end up sleeping in hell
Sleeping in hell
Sleeping in hell
