Birthdays and Breakups

words and music by Erik Brandon

We both remember last year
You stepped out for some air
I wouldn't let them start that stupid song
Without you there

I walked outside to find you
Kissing him, after the fact
365 days
And I will get you back

Birthdays and breakups, baby
I wonder why
You always leave the party
With a different guy
And that's okay
Naw, you don't hafta stay
Go take your new distraction and the action
Of your put upon display

Birthdays and breakups, baby
Don't bring no cheer
And they both seem to happen
Every single year
And I suppose
That everybody knows
It's awful hard to retroact a planned-out track
Of fallen dominoes

And that's alright
Baby, that's okay
You weren't what I wished for
Anyway

I'm glad that you could make it
How long's it been?
Let's not let a year go by
To see each other again
So, what have you been up to?
It's been too long (But not long enough)
So, where's that guy that brought you?
I hope that I'm wrong
When I suggest
He's tried his level best
To get the seven digits from ya friends
That he has mentally undressed

Birthdays and breakups, baby
Remind me of you

We both remember last year
You stepped out for some air
I wouldn't let them start that stupid song
Till you there
I walked outside to find you
All alone, out by the curb
365 days
To get what you deserve
