Temporary

A lot of people ask me, am I afraid of death? The truth is, I think what scares me the most Is not being able to say all the things I wanna say to you When I'm no longer here So this song is for Hailie, for when that day comes Where's Hailie? Where is she at? This ain't Hailie Who is it? It's a monster I've been waiting all night for the sunrise To take away the dark sky (You're the dad monster) (And them are the baby monsters, and I'm the mom monster) (aw) All it takes is a new day sometimes To get me in a better state of mind (Give me a kiss, monster, give me a kiss) (Love you) (I love you) If I could just fall asleep I'd be lost in a dream But right now, it's misery And I just have to remember That when a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever The pieces will grow back together And in time, I'll be fine The tears are temporary Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song To help you cope with life now that I'm gone How should I start? Just wanna say Look after Alaina, Stevie, and Uncle Nate And, sweetie, be strong, I know I was your rock And I still am, saying goodbye is just not Ever easy, but why you crying? Just stop Hailie, baby, dry your eye, this is not forever That when a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever The pieces will grow back together And in time, I'll be fine The tears are temporary Daddy (ooh) What? (Ooh) When I used to have this when I was a little kid (ooh) Baby, are you okay? (Ooh) Yeah, and you will get over me and move on You can play me on repeat on a song But don't you dare shed a tear, what I tell you? "Straighten up, little soldier," them times when I held you Jade, it'll be okay, baby, I'm here, Hay I'm watchin' you right now, baby girl, I vow I will protect you, your guardian angel As hard as this may feel, us parting is painful And, darling, the rain will, drive you insane still You will remain strong, Hailie, just hang on It won't be too long, I need you to move on And remember, it will get better 'Cause time heals and when a- When a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever The pieces will grow back together And in time, I'll be fine The tears are temporary The bad days will start to get better And we'll be laughin' together And tonight, when I cry The tears are temporary I know this big girl (ooh) And she's really pretty (ooh) You know what her name is? Hailie (ooh) Hailie, how did you know? (Ooh) Yeah, and if there's days where you Wanna just lock yourself in your room and cry Just think of how when you were little, how you and I Back and forth to the studio, we used to drive You strapped in the backseat, 'cause you were my Little sidekick, yeah, sweetie, I know this hurts Bean, I'm wishing your pain away Remember this, Hailie Jade There's gonna be rainy days I promise you'll get through 'em and make it regardless Fuck it, Jade, I'll be honest I knew that you was gonna take this the hardest Sweetie, get up, I know that this is breaking your heart It's the hardest thing I've ever wrote (Daddy) Hailie, sweetheart, it's okay for you to let me go Baby, I promise you that when a- That when a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever The pieces will grow back together And in time, I'll be fine The tears are temporary The bad days will start to get better And we'll be laughin' together And tonight when I cry The tears are temporary What's your favorite song?
