I've got a birthday coming up
Will I feel dread again this year
On my birthday, waking up
To find my skin is still unclear
And I have only finished
Half of my to-do list
I blow the candles out
And count all of my boyfriends
Time ain't what it used to be
I'm still catching up
Why do I feel it flying?
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
New stains on my bed sheets
I'm bleeding out again
I love to be a woman
But I would rather be a plant
And sit beneath the sunlight
Making my own sugar
I'd shoot up like a stalk
And turn into a flower
Time ain't what it used to be
I'm still growing up
Why do I feel like crying?
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
Cuz then I panic thinking maybe, mighta, woulda, coulda
Should have been a different woman had I not slept in that day
It's all for kicks but I feel bad when shit gets real
If my days are truly numbered
Is this how I'm supposed to feel
If my days are truly numbered
Is this how I'm supposed to feel
I never could have guessed
How hot the world would get
In just a couple years or less
So turn it down to simmer
I'm not in a hurry
Still got a million things
To do before my birthday
