I thought it was your turn to feel alone,
  But I knew I was wrong when I hung up the phone,
  You've got Mom?s eyes and so do I,
  Evident in every tone
  
  So I write another letter,
  But it all adds up to nothing,
  Today is your birthday,
  Have a happy birthday,
  There?s nothing that you wanted
  
  I thought I would have a good explanation,
  I wanna go back for your high school graduation,
  When you cut your lines through the midnight brine,
  It'll be to your best advantage
  
  So I write another letter,
  But it all adds up to nothing,
  Today is your birthday,
  Have a happy birthday,
  There's nothing that you wanted
