birthday music Lyrics

You told me on my birthday that you never knew if I loved you

But you'd never asked

And you told me on my birthday that you didn't want me

So I got drunk and lost my phone and my ID

I went to work the next day

They'd brought me balloons and cake

Went to Trader Joe's on my lunch break

And I cried in the parking lot while I wrote this song

On the back of the receipt from CVS that was way too long

Thank God, 'cause music was the only thing I hadn't lost

He ignored me that whole birthday

We had 40 people there but he didn't care

And when I'd walk into a room he'd disappear

I remember thinking

I wish he was as committed to me as he is to ruining this party

We woke up the next day

Acted like nothing had changed

Took me to see Sam Smith

He played "Burning" and I knew we'd never make it

When you held my hand I knew happiness meant I'd never feel so fucking alone

But thank God, 'cause the music was the only thing I hadn't lost

And you told me on my birthday that you were leaving

And you'd be gone in four days

I hope you have a good trip and they play good music on the plane
