Just for the Day lyrics

When they said you were goin' away I thought it was just for the day When they said I'll never see you again I thought I'll just wait till then You sang me lullabies I thought you could never die When I was eight, you said my cat ran away But I found out that that wasn't true People often tell lies when they say their goodbyes But I guess I just can't get a clue No, you're not comin' back But I still leave the door open for you When I dream, I can keep you awake But you're gone every time the day breaks It's been far too long for a trip As I watch my mom's heartstrings rip When you read me fairytales You left out some key details When I was eight, you said when my heart breaks That you'll always be there with the glue People often tell lies when they say their goodbyes And leave you with nothin' to do But wonder if you're comin' back So I leave the door open for you I'm startin' to think you're no longer alive (how could you leave me?) And that's what they told me but I won't survive this (how could you leave me waitin'?) If that is the truth, I don't know what I'll do I've been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you I'm startin' to think you're no longer alive (how could you leave me?) And that's what they told me but I won't survive this (how could you leave me waitin'?) If that is the truth, I don't know what I'll do I've been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you, when they said you were goin' away I thought it was just for the day
