the birthday song by Mae martin

 

a birthday is a special day it comes once a year
forget the world is ending and just be of good cheer
you wake up in the morning and your grandma calls
and you spend an hour crying because only 14 people wrote on your facebook wall,
and your ex wrote happy birthday
with a lower case "b" followed by "..."
so its just "Happy birthday..."
what the HELL is that supposed to mean
at work they tie a balloon to your wheelie chair
they got you a cupcake not a real cake
and you pretend not to care
but it was Cristina's birthday last week and they did get her a real cake and she's only a temp so surly there's been some mistake
because a cup cake not the same as a cake its only one fifth of the size
a cup cake is not the same as a cake but its not a big deal I'm just grateful that you remembered
its the time of the year till your best Friend mentions
"omg you must love birthdays because you love being the centre of attention!"
well thank you Stephine thank you for coming
you started of fresh but now you're felling muddled
people buying you shots like they want to get you in trouble

and Stephenie is like "is it wired for you that you are single but all your friends are in couples?" thanks Stephenie thank you so much for coming you rely know me so well
on second thought make that gin and tonic a double
because its your birthday and your older and wiser
but don't feel sad even if you celebrate the same way as last year by throwing up a kebab
and crying and crying and crying in the bathroom because a cupcake is not the same as a cake its only one fifth of the size a cupcake is not the same a s a cake but its not a big deal I'm just grateful that you remembered :)
