Potential Breakup Song Lyrics

t took too long
It took too long
It took too long for you to call back
And normally I would just forget that
Except for the fact it was my birthday
My stupid birthday

Rolled right off my...

   It's for a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. Yeah, not everyone has the same point of view. Hope they understood your point.

   I believe the theme of the song is about ultimatum i.e. could be either a break up if he doesnt change his ways or a make up.I love the juxtaposition and ambiguous of it.You can also use this song (or maybe its just me) on other relationship like friendship and other theme such as conformity to the ideal and principal of the mass that is the diametrically opposite to your idiosyncratic views.:-? Hope you understand my point.

   It's about a girls relationship with a guy which turned out not so well. He did not call her back on her birthday. He did just did really bad thing so she's making a potential (you maybe will do) break up song.

   I think that this is about a boy/girl relationship that went bad because of something that the boy did and she wants to break up.
   
   I think that the birthday thing is just a metaphor.

   This song is about a guy and a girl's relationship. The guy really messed up and the girl's really upset so she's giving him an ultimatum: either get your act together and you can still be with me or we're through.

   This song I believe is about a girl breaking up with her boyfriend because he forgot her birthday and thinks that he's cheating on her. She now thinks her birthday is worth noting if someone like that could forget it.
