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 'til 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
