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.

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.

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.
