"Day One" lyrics - CARLY PEARCE

By tomorrow, I bet I can crawl out of bed
And I might even open the shades
Then the weekend'll fly, some friends'll 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 havin' fun
Sounds easy to do if I just get through day one

[Chorus:]
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
'Til 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

[Chorus:]
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, wakin' up on your side
Of the bed won't feel so strange
Right now, it seems crazy, it won't even phase 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
