Temporary Lyrics

[00:03.38] A lot of people ask me
[00:06.68] Am I afraid of death?
[00:10.05] The truth is
[00:11.99] I think what scares me the most
[00:14.33] Is not being able to say
[00:16.48] All the things I wanna say to you
[00:19.16] When I'm no longer here
[00:21.66] So this song is for Hailie for when that day comes
[00:25.23] Where's Hailie? Where's she at?
[00:30.05] This ain't Hailie
[00:31.44] Who is it?
[00:32.80] It's a monster (ah!)
[00:37.76] I've been waiting all night for the sunrise
[00:40.57] To take away the dark sky
[00:43.11] You're the dad monster and them ares the baby monsters
[00:47.38] And I'm the mom monster (aw)
[00:49.65] All it takes is a new day sometimes
[00:52.41] To get me in a better state of mind
[00:55.23] Give me a kiss, monster, give me a kiss
[00:58.51] Love you (I love you)
[00:59.57] If I could just fall asleep
[01:02.49] I'd be lost in a dream
[01:05.39] But right now, it's misery
[01:09.89] And I just have to remember
[01:12.62] That when a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever
[01:16.43] The pieces will grow back together
[01:19.28] And in time, I'll be fine
[01:21.85] The tears are temporary
[01:24.74] Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song
[01:27.70] To help you cope with life now that I'm gone
[01:30.29] How should I start? Just wanna say
[01:33.32] Look after Alaina, Stevie, and Uncle Nate
[01:36.28] And, sweetie, be strong
[01:38.35] I know I was your rock and I still am
[01:41.12] Saying goodbye is just not ever easy
[01:43.92] But why you crying? Just stop
[01:46.12] Hailie, baby, dry your eye this is not forever
[01:49.19] That when a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever
[01:52.47] The pieces will grow back together
[01:55.55] And in time, I'll be fine
[01:58.14] The tears are temporary
[02:01.21] Daddy? (What?)
[02:03.45] When I used to have this when I was a little kid
[02:08.60] Baby, are you okay?
[02:11.08] Daddy
[02:12.76] Yeah, and you will get over me and move on
[02:16.08] You can play me on repeat on a song
[02:18.64] But don't you dare shed a tear, what'd I tell you?
[02:21.28] "Straighten up, little soldier," them times when I held you
[02:24.22] Jade, it'll be okay, baby, I'm here, Hay
[02:27.45] I'm watchin' you right now, baby girl, I vow
[02:30.36] I will protect you, you guardian angel
[02:33.11] As hard as this may feel, us parting is painful
[02:36.36] And, darling, the rain will drive you insane still
[02:39.35] You will remain strong, Hailie, just hang on
[02:42.53] It won't be too long, I need you to move on
[02:45.68] And remember, it will get better
[02:47.94] 'Cause times heals and when a
[02:49.19] When a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever
[02:52.22] The pieces will grow back together
[02:55.34] And in time, I'll be fine
[02:58.08] The tears are temporary
[03:01.35] The bad days will start to get better
[03:04.43] Then we'll be laughin' together
[03:07.43] And tonight, when I cry
[03:10.28] The tears are temporary
[03:13.55] I know this big girl, and she's really pretty
[03:17.55] You know what her name is? (Hallie)
[03:19.87] Hailie, how did you know?
[03:23.12] I just-
[03:24.01] Yeah, and if there's days where you just wanna
[03:26.52] Lock yourself in your room and cry
[03:28.54] Just think about how when you were little, how you and I
[03:31.36] Back and forth to the studio, we used to drive (dad)
[03:34.42] You strapped in the back seat, 'cause you were my
[03:37.52] Little sidekick, yeah, sweetie, I know this hurts
[03:40.33] Bean, I'm wishing your pain away, remember this
[03:42.01] Hallie Jade, there's gonna be rainy days
[03:45.17] I promise you'll get through 'em and make it regardless
[03:48.02] F- it, Jade, I'll be honest
[03:49.63] I knew that you was gonna take this the hardest
[03:51.73] Sweetie, get up, I know that is breaking your heart
[03:54.58] It's the hardest thing I've ever wrote (daddy)
[03:56.85] Hailie, sweetheart, it's okay for you to let me go
[03:59.49] Baby, I promise you that when a-
[04:01.24] When a heart breaks, it ain't broken forever
[04:04.29] The pieces will grow back together
[04:07.47] And in time, I'll be fine
[04:10.28] The tears are temporary
[04:13.38] The bad days will start to get better
[04:16.50] Then we'll be laughin' together
[04:19.34] And tonight when I cry
[04:22.07] The tears are temporary
[04:25.47] What's your favorite song?
[04:27.36] My favorite song right now is, what's your favorite song?
[04:30.61] Mine and your favorite song? (Yeah, the radio, I like this part)
[04:34.54] What's your favorite part, dad?
