Her birthday's on Christmas eve
And she [bad word] that she only gets
Half as many presents as everybody else
He wishes he could be there

I hate this job because I don't work with you
I hate this mood that I'm in
I hate the phone when it's not you
I hate this time before I see you again

I hate these people that are not you
This photo that I've got of you
I hate this empty room that you're not in

Happy birthday, girl
You know I can't be with you
Of course I can't be with you
But I want to say
I'm happy with you
Unhappy without you
And I hope you are a
Happy birthday girl

I hate my body because it's not in you
I hate these clothes that keep me from your skin
I hate the need to eat when I can't eat with you
I hate these empty places that you've been

I hate these buildings, roads and fields
They're only useless, empty space
That just separates me from you

Happy birthday girl
You know I can't be with you
Of course I can't be with you
But I hope you are
happy birthday girl
Lovers should be together
And though we are apart
I hope you have
happy birthday girl
You know I can't be with you
Of course I can't be with you
But I hope you are
happy birthday girl
Lovers should be together
It seems we are apart
But I want to say

I'm happy with you
Unhappy without you
I'm happy with you
Happy birthday girl
I'm happy with you
Unhappy without you
I'm happy with you
Happy birthday girl
I'm happy with you
Unhappy without you
I'm happy with you
Happy birthday girl
