Birthday reprise

Tomorrow is your birthday dear
A day of joy for you
Tomorrow I'll be seeking
Other comfort for my blues

The card I sent you'll throw away
The flowers left to die
So while you have a happy day
I'll lie with her, and cry

I will try hard to let you go
It's been such a long time
You never even let me know
If I've ever crossed your mind.

Enjoy your life, such as it goes
In your virtual playground
In the rooms with internet hoes
You never hear a sound

Do not wonder if I share
Your fear of life and love
'Cause one day soon again I'll bare
My soul to a new dove

And then you'll fade, perhaps one day
Into a fond and distant place
While I kiss and touch and play
With someone else's face

I'll let you out from where you hide
Behind the wall I've built so wide
And from my heart and soul you'll go
Goodbye my love, this must be so

You told me once, too long ago
That walls keep bad things in
While keeping out the things we fear
We keep our sorrow in.

I didn't understand at all
That I'm not good for you
My ego would not allow a fall
I want you and I'm blue

But what of you, how can I not
Allow you what you feel
Because you used to think me hot
Before your legs I kneel

Forgive me woman, who I hurt
I have no right to ask
Just push my face into the dirt
And grind away the mask

How dare you think I'm not the one
To make your sunshine strong
I'm Jim damnit, your world and sun
So what I done you wrong

Forgive me and take me back
I don't care what's good for you
I'll lie to you with soul so black
Because that's what I do

You made the right choice baby, I'm no good for you.
God help me I do love you so.
