birthday bummer by ratwyfe

I've been waiting here for hours
Where's my cake and flowers?
I'm scrolling through my phone looking for birthday messages
Feel pretty forgotten but I feel that pretty often
You think my phone will blow up if I keep refreshing it?

I'm crying on my birthday
I don't feel like cutting cake

Every year, no day is lonelier
Than when I'm reminded that I'm the only one
There on my birthday
No fair, it's my birthday
I don't need no presents, either
Just want someone present here
There on my birthday
But no one cares it's my birthday

Never been the type to throw a party
Never been too sure that anyone would come
All my best friends have better friends
They get on well without me
If they came to my party I would just look dumb so

I'm alone on my birthday
At least I don't have to dress up
Every year, no day is lonelier
Than when I'm reminded that I'm the only one
There on my birthday
No fair, it's my birthday
I don't need no presents, either
Just want someone present here
There on my birthday
But no one cares it's my birthday

As my candles get blown out I wish for less self-doubt
A friend or two
Just somebody here
To come to my birthday party next year

Happy birthday to me
