Birthday Malaise Lyrics

You bring me gifts
But no presence
Your lack of regard makes me irreerent
You tie it up with a bow
These little things we do to show we care
One day out of the year
Butterflies in shades of grey
Birthday malaise
Counting down the days
Used to fill me with delight
Candy kisses, cupcake wishes
Taking flight
Just bring yourself
Please no presents
My closet has no room
For resentments
Born in the year of the snake
Expectations only break

Us down
Then it's all up to the clown
Confetti filled dismay
Oh birthday malaise
Counting down the days
Used to fill me with delight
Candy kisses, cupcake wishes
Taking flight
Always hoping for a surprise
But it turns out there's no secret to confide
And they're singing that same song
Take off your heavy coat
Put on your birthday suit
'Cause it's a birthday malaise
You say it's your birthday
I'ts my birthday too, yeah
And this is my party
I'll cry if I want to
Bring me presents, lots of presents
Bring me presents, yeah
