Airport

You said goodbye like it was nothing

Just a wave and you were gone

Boarding pass and no discussion

Now I'm staring at the dawn

All the lights are going blurry

Jet planes cut across the sky

I never knew you were in such a hurry

Never knew you meant goodbye

And I still hear the echo

Of your heels down the hall

You walked out so graceful

Like you rehearsed it all

You're flying out from the airport

Leaving my heart on the floor

I should've begged you to stay

But I just watched you walk away

Now I'm lost in the airport

With your perfume in the air

And I can't breathe

I can't speak

You're just not there

Now I'm scrolling through old pictures

Trying to find some kind of clue

Was it me or just the distance

That pushed you to break through

I replay our final Sunday

You were smiling like the end

Guess I missed the warning signs babe

Guess I thought love wouldn't bend

And now the gate is closing

Like a metaphor for us

You disappeared in motion

And I stayed stuck in the dust

You're flying out from the airport

Leaving my heart on the floor

I should've begged you to stay

But I just watched you walk away

Now I'm lost in the airport

With your perfume in the air

And I can't breathe

I can't speak

You're just not there

Maybe someday you'll circle back

Runway lights will bring you home

But right now you're a photograph

On a flight I'll never know

You're flying out from the airport

Like you never were mine

Now I'm stuck on this ground

While you're kissing the sky

I'm still lost in the airport

With your shadow everywhere

And I can't breathe
