Birthday

Every single birthday I promise
I am gonna change
But I can never take the first step
Every single New Years
I promise they'll be no more tears
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 Hanukkah I promise
I am gonna come shimmying out of my shell
Every single Rosh Hashanah, shrouded in a Hallelujah
Listen for the holiest bell.
What I feel is that you will never
Never, never let go
What I fear is that you may never, never
La da da, La da da da.
Every single birthday seen singing to a cupcake
I'm lonely as a grain of loose sand.
Hoping 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
La da da, da da da da
La da da, La da da, da da da da
