Let the phone ring long enough for you to know I called
Ended it before you had the chance to pick up 'cuz
What am I supposed to say?
'Hey, it's almost my birthday'
You were with me this time last year and I told you how
All of my friends got together and then went without
Inviting me
To my own birthday party
You had the whole year to prove that you care
When it mattered you weren't anywhere
Anywhere
I thought maybe you would choose today
To let me know you're thinking of me
And wish me happy
Happy birthday
You missed my birthday
I'll convince myself that you were out and your phone died
You're always busy and Los Angeles is hours behind
Michigan
But you still missed it
And I rehearsed my lies when you asked me who this song's about
Knew you'd had the truth as it started pouring from my mouth 'cuz
What are you supposed to say?
'Yeah, I missed your birthday"
You had the whole year to prove that you care
When it mattered you weren't anywhere
Anywhere
I thought maybe you would choose today
To let me know you're thinking of me
And wish me happy
Happy birthday
You missed my birthday
You say you're so glad that I exist
On the day that you could celebrate
You act like i'm dead
So i'll
Let the phone ring long enough for you to know I called
End it right before you get the chance to pick up 'cuz
What am I supposed to say?
'Hey, today's my birthday'
