When they said you were going 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 coming 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 nothing to do
But wonder if you’re coming back
So I leave the door open for you
I'm starting to think you’re no longer alive
And that’s what they told me
But I won’t survive this
If that is the truth
I don’t know what I’ll do
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you
I'm starting to think you’re no longer alive
And that’s what they told me
But I won’t survive this
If that is the truth
I don’t know what I’ll do
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you
When they said you were going away
I thought it was just for the day
