One Day At A Time

Let's face the truth
Sooner or later, no matter what somebody has to lose
I'll be on the road and you're going to school in Baton Rouge
And I promise you the world my love, but what's the use?
But what's the use?

I can't explain how it feels like we have it all
When everything's bound to change
I'm fearing that I lose my place inside of your picture frames
And I promise you the world might love, but we can't stay

Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by one day at a time

I know it's hard
I'm dreading the moment I see you pack all that shit in your car
When one of us walks out the door all alone with a broken heart
So let's make the most of this moment before it all falls apart

Whatever's meant to be, just hold your head up (hold your head up)
No matter where we go, I'm on your side (I'm on your side)
Let's not make it out like we are fed up (we're not fed up)
There's just no controlling when it's time

Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by
One day at a time

Baby, baby, leave for the road
You don't need my permission to go on your own
So don't act crazy and turn around when you realize
The future's hazy, just keep that piece of shit in drive

Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by

Tonight, we're saying goodbye, chain-smoking cigarettes
We lie, pretend it's alright
I say you'll always be mine, don't know what happens next
We'll find some way to get by
One day at a time
