Alone On My Birthday Lyrics by Shelter

Beyond Planet Earth

0

[Intro]
Are you ready for this ?
Hit me!
One, two
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
No decoration on, no cake
Nobody remembered this important date
Guitar, pen, brain start to contemplate
They're the only 3 here
For this joyous celebratio
[Verse 2]
Because I'm self-absorbed, I get upset
Mad at the world, how could they forget ?
I was alone at birth, I'll be alone at death
Hope I won't be alone at my final destination
[Chorus]
Never really thought it would've happened to me
But that night I sat by the telephone
Never really thought it would've happened to me
I spent my birthday all alone
[Verse 3]
Birth's a costume with a genetic script
We play some role that we'd like to fit
And never admit that we're full of it
And live life in some sort of dazed hallucination
[Verse 4]
I'll never lament because life is brief
Our bodies are changing like the autumn leaf
It's said that time is the greatest thief
And beats and cheats this entire population
[Chorus]
Never really thought it would've happened to me
But that night I sat by the telephone
Never really thought it would've happened to me
I spent my birthday all alone
[Bridge 1]
But it's alright, home tonight, just suits me fine
I don't mind spending time with my mind all alone
[Bridge 2 ]
Are you ready for this?
Bring it on
One, two
One, two, three, four
[Verse 5]
No decoration on, no cake
Nobody remembered, no no no
Guitar, pen, brain start to contemplate
They're the only 3 here
They're the only 3 here
[Chorus]
Never really thought it would've happened to me
But that night I sat by the telephone
Never really thought it would've happened to me
I spent my birthday all alone
[Chorus]
Never really thought it would've happened to me
But that night I sat by the telephone
Never really thought it would've happened to me
I spent my birthday all alone
