I've been away from FAWM for a week or two due to a family loss and half term with my little boy, but I hope to make up for it this week. Today I only have lyrics, tomorrow I will have some music hopefully!
"Happy birthday" I don't say
It's not like you deserve it
All the times I set aside my needs for yours
"Happy birthday" yet I think
For after all the pain you put me through
I couldn't bear to know you're not ok
It's not like last year or the year before
Where I came knocking at your door
To see if you'd survive without me there
You were fine oh you were always fine
You never needed me
Just used me
Still I think today
Happy Birthday

So sorry to hear about your loss. These lyrics convey those ties that keep us in the orbit of people we are mostly over. It feels uncomfortable in a very real way.

Such understandable conflict in these lyrics. Such a great song concept about how we think of people on their birthdays, even when they have hurt us and are no longer in our lives. I am looking forward to hearing what you do with this musically!
