Your Birthday Present - The Good Life

Still I wonder how you are

And what became of all of this

Did you cry when winter’s hands

Stole you from that fertile grave?

Did your mother hold you dear

To ease the burden of your pain?

Swallowed out into the light

Happy birthday

Still I wonder how you are

And how you ever came to be

I was nothing but a hole

You nestled in and fell asleep

Are you sad when you’re awake

Torn away from fertile dreams?

Didn’t want to wake you up

I’m still sorry

Happy birthday

Do you wonder how I am

What ever became of me?

Do you envision my thin face

Where the beaten go to dream?

I didn’t want to cut the cord

You suck the life right out of me

Do you regret choices you’ve made?

I guess I was a mistake

I guess I was a mistake

I guess I was a mistake

I guess I’m your big mistake

Well, happy birthday anyway

Happy birthday
