Changing Birthday MAG
They told me the news today
That if I’m lucky
I’ll see my next birthday
They were sitting in the chair
Crying tears without a care
Of what the others thought
That’s when I finally said
I turn 15 in two weeks
I can make it this time
Around
They told us the same thing
Last year
But look where I am now
10 months later
I’m still here
Cryin’ tears without a care
Of what the others think
Trying to get my mind straight
With the surprise I woke up to find.
Wearing a cap every day
People keep staring at the bald space
Ignoring whispers I can hear
Keeping my head held high
I turn 16 in two months
I can make it this time
Around
They told us the same thing
Last year
And look where I am now
They told me this would be the
Last time I saw them again
My parents sitting in the chair
Cryin’ tears without a care
Of what the others thought
They were losing their baby girl
