Every birthday for every year
For each and every one of my friends
Their birthday is celebrated
As if it were my own
I laugh and smile and surprise each and every one
They expect me to care
They know their birthdays wont be forgotten
They know I'll always be there
I don't ever expect anything on my own birthday
It's ok that they never remember
but for once I'd like someone to do something for me
For once I'd like someone to actually care
I walk into school my head held high
Not even my family remembers
I expected more out of my friends
But one again it was forgotten lost in all those drama curves and bends
I don't mention a thing
Only three true friends remember
It's funny I'm always expected to do something big for them
But half don't even wish me a happy birthday
I was thinking of that day
Way back when
Not really that long ago
But I almost took my life
I bet they would have remembered me then
Remembered that todays my birthday
They would have mourned today
Instead of forgotten
It makes me feel great to be alive
To live a life for 17 years
That no one seems to remember
What is the point of my tears?!
Its funny ain't it how I do and give so much
I never expect a thank you on any holidays
I don't mind to give my friends the love they deserve
But at least even on my birthday I wish I knew that they cared
Its funny ain't it how things would have been different if I had died
There would be no happy birthdays
No presents or hugs
No laughs and smiles
Or would it actually be that different
There were no hugs or presents
or laughs and smiles
or even a happy birthday wish on my big day
So is there a point in my life...
when no one even remembers I'm alive?!
