Lyrics

Your voice, it might say "no"

But the heart has a will of its own Your voice, it might say "no" But the heart has a heart of it's own

It's not your birthday anymore There's no need to be kind to you And the will to see you smile and belong has now gone

It's not your birthday anymore Did you really think we meant All of those syrupy, sentimental things that we said?

It cannot be given And so it must be taken It cannot be given And so it must be taken

All of the gifts that they gave Can't compare in any way To the love I am now giving to you Right here, right now, on the floor

All of the gifts that they gave Can't compare in any way To the love I am now giving to you Right here, right now, on the floor

It's not your birthday anymore There's no need to be kind to you And the will to see you smile and belong has now gone

It's not your birthday anymore Did you really think we meant All of those syrupy, sentimental things that we said yesterday?
