Lyrics for It's Not Your Birthday Anymore

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, 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 of 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 of 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 of 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 of those syrupy, sentimental things That we said yesterday?
