It's mothers birthday
She's forty years
I don't know what to say
Buy her roses and cry her tears
She'll just give them away
Maybe I'll fight it
Maybe I'll fight it
[Chorus:]
Why'd I have to grow up so fast?
I just wanna stay here and laugh
Oh we only
Oh we only bloom away
You were wearing my favourite dress
When you left that day
My pillow covers your photograph
You come to me in ways
Maybe I'll find her
Maybe I'll find her
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be the one who has to be afraid
I don't wanna be the one you feel you sorry for
I just wanna be the one to make you smile
And kiss your face
It's mothers birthday
She's forty years
I don't know what to say
