It's my birthday and I can have
anything I want (so says my mum) -
but I can't have you
And isn't life fair
That there is a boy
who would have me
but you live and laugh and love
without me
and I tell myself over and over
how beautiful I am
and how wonderful I look
how lovely I talk
And eloquent I dress
But it all doesn't matter
When I wake up without your head next to mine
and I tell myself again
that I need no man
but it's such a lie
because I need you
(and your love)
to power my heart
and it's my birthday
so I blow out the candles
and wish for a brain
