Your Birthday Present lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Good Life
Album: Novena On A Nocturn

Lyrics

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

Were you sad when you awoke?
Torn away from fertile dreams
I didn't want to wake you up..I'm still sorry
Happy birthday

Do you wonder how I am
Or whatever became of me
Do you envision my thin face
Where the beaten go to drink?
I didn't want to cut that cord
You sucked the life right out of me
Do you regret choices you've made?
I guess I was a mistake. (x3)
I guess I'm your big mistake
Well happy birthday anyway
Happy birthday
