Day One

By tomorrow, I bet I can crawl out of bed

And I might even open the shades

Then the weekend'll fly, some friends will drop by

And tell me I'll be okay

By Tuesday, the hurt won't keep me from work

And I'll hide it from everyone

Sounds easy to do if I just get through day one

In a week or so, all the neighbors'll know

When they don't see your car outside

By day seventeen, I won't need a drink

To help me close my eyes

On day twenty-eight, I'll go on a date

And he'll think I'm having fun

Sounds easy to do if I just get through day one

I know I'll be better off alone

Give it time, broken hearts have a mind of their own

I wish I knew a way to skip over the pain but I don't

There's no way to say how long it'll take

Till the damage comes undone

All I can do is try to get through day one

By day forty-five, I won't have to drive

By your house on my way home

By day ninety-two, if I run into you

It won't kill me if you're not alone

By fall or by winter, I'll barely remember

How hard this first night was

When all I could do

Is try to get through day one

I know I'll be better off alone

Give it time, broken hearts have a mind of their own

I wish I knew a way to skip over the pain but I don't

There'll come a time, waking up on your side

Of the bed won't feel so strange

Right now it seems crazy, it won't even faze me

When someone says your name

It might take a while but I might even smile

When that day finally comes

You'll just be someone I knew, if I just get through day one

Yeah, I'll get over you if I just get through day one
