It's Not Your Birthday Anymore - Morrissey

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 its own, 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?
