Mothers Day

I don't do Mothers Day
Mothers Day's not for me
because all the cards, and bears, and sweets
could never bring her back to me

I don't do Fathers Day
Fathers Day's not for me
not even the most expensive treats
could bring him close to me

I don't want a Birthday
my Birthday's no longer for me
because I'm cold inside, I'm not alive
I've become dead to me

I don't want to celebrate
parties are not for me
because all of their smiles and sympathetic faces
truly kill me

So take all the cakes away
tell them they can't stay
they don't understand, I know they can't
and its killing me

that year I forgot Christmas
the same year you abandoned me
it left me cold inside, and though they tried
I didn't want to see
