BIRTHDAY

Every single birthday I promise I am gonna change but I can never take the first step Every single New Year’s I promise there’ll be no more tears but I can only take what I get What I get is that you will never, never, never let go What I feel is that you may never, never, never Wanna know me for who I really am Every single Hanukah I promise I am gonna come Shimmying out of my shell Every single Rosh Hashanah shrouded in a hallelujah I listen for the holiest knell What I hear is that you will never, never, never let go What I fear is that you may never, never, never Wanna know me for who I really am Every single birthday teeth sink into a cupcake I’m Lonely as a grain of loose sand Every single New Year’s I promise there’ll be no more tears Oh, but for a dose of dry land What I hope is that you will someday, someday, someday let go What I wish is that you will one day, one day, one day Wanna know me for who I really am
