Your voice it might say 'no'
But the heart has a will of its own
Your voice it might say 'no'
But the heart has a heart of its own
It's not your birthday anymore
There's no need to be kind to you
And the will to see you smile
And belong has now gone

It's not your birthday anymore
Did you really think we meant
All those syrupy, sentimental things
That we said?

It cannot be given
And so it must be taken
It cannot be given
And so it must be taken

All the gifts that they gave
Can't compare in any way
To the love I am now giving to you
Right here right now on the floor
All the gifts that they gave
Can't compare in any way
To the love I am now giving to you
Right here right now on the floor

It's not your birthday anymore
There's no need to be kind to you
And the will to see you smile
And belong has now gone
It's not your birthday anymore
Did you really think we meant
All those syrupy, sentimental
Things that we said yesterday?
