Lyrics of ' Temporary (feat. Eminem) ' by Skylar Grey

A lot of people ask me, am I afraid of death?
The truth is, I think what scares 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 is 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
Damn, monster
Ain't no baby monster, I'm the mama monster
Aw
All it takes is a new day sometimes
To get in a better state of mind
Give me a kiss monster, give me
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 Elena, Steve and Uncle Nate
And, sweetie, be strong, I know I was your rock and I still am
Saying goodbye is just not ever easy
Why you crying? Just stop
Hailie, baby, dry your eyes, 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)
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, hey
I'm watchin' you right now, baby girl, I vow
I will protect you, your guardian angel
As hard as this may be feel, as parting is painful
And, darling, the rain will drive you insane still
You will remain strong, Hailie, just hang on
I won't be too long, I need you to move on
And remember, it will get better
'Cause times heal 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 when you wanna lock yourself in your room and cry
Just think about 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 mine
Little sidekick, yeah, sweetie, I know this hurts
[?] 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 hardest
Sweetie, get up, I know that is is breaking your heart
The hardest I ever wrote (Daddy)
Hailie, it's okay for you to let me go
Baby, I promise you 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? (Ooh)
[?] your favorite song (Ooh)
[?] this part
Your favorite part, Dad? (Ooh)

You're [?] me, bitch
I got you on tape cussin'
Can you hear?
Yeah
You know what?
No, I said no, I said no, bitch
Okay, no cussin', no cussin'
