[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 gеt through day one

[Chorus]
And I know I'll be bettеr 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

[Verse 3]
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]
And 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
And 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
[Verse 4]
And 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
