The Day I Was Born

Got a call from my mother who wishes that she was here Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin' I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear The only plus is the sweater I needed I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone This is the life in the city and that's the way it goes But it's a fine excuse just to leave it I hit 'em up and I asked, "Are you comin' over?" And all I got was a shrug and then, "I don't know" And everyone I know is hidden away Tryna make their bodies clean again And they don't want to celebrate Nobody cares this is the day I was born Always the month when parties come to an end The same excuses from every friend Another year and now we're here again Nobody cares this is the day I was born Another birthday alone La-la-lay, la-la-lay Another birthday alone La-la-lay, la-la-lay I hit a bar in town, get my car and start a tab Every day that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back And so I drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack And end up talkin' to strangers and find another plaque I am denyin' in the carpet, spinnin' on my own Watchin' pointless things and flickin' through my phone And would April be better? I guess I'll never know I'll take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row And everyone I know is hidden away Tryna make their bodies clean again And they don't want to celebrate Nobody cares this is the day I was born Always the month when parties come to an end The same excuses from every friend Another year and now we're here again Nobody cares this is the day I was born Another birthday alone La-la-lay, la-la-lay Another birthday alone La-la-lay, la-la-lay I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row And everyone I know is hidden away Tryna make their bodies clean again And they don't want to celebrate Nobody cares this is the day I was born Always the month when parties come to an end The same excuses from every friend Another year and now we're here again Nobody cares this is the day I was born Another birthday alone La-la-lay, la-la-lay Another birthday alone La-la-lay, la-la-lay --- The Day I Was Born - Ed Sheeran
