Upon My Departure

[Verse 1]

When the final bell is rung

And the game's declared over

We speak the words goodbye

And I know it's forever

An empty pit inside my chest

Was more than a small clue

No you'll never see me again

Something I gotta get used to

But you left much behind

Some peace and vital signs

Food for a busy mind

And souvenirs to hold tight

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Just a passenger on your airliner

Crashing to the ground

But the impact doesn't make a sound

[Verse 2]

Well a lesson to be learned

From your departure

Funny thing but when you went away

I lost part of my cure

And now I'm searching hard

Underneath every card

Hoping with best regards

You'll bail me out of this dream state

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Oh but what I feel

Unfortunately is real

Feeling the sting of pain

Not a damn thing can erase the stain

[Chorus]

I'm leaving here

And you'll know why when I'm gone

I'm leaving here

Translate your knowledge to this song

I won't forget

Why our words were meant to mesh

Why I'm glad we shared a glass

I gave something to your soul

And you gave me more than you will ever know

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre Chorus 3]

Are my senses clear?

Do I feel it here?

Sometimes the past is insincere

[Chorus]

I'm leaving here

And you'll know why when I'm gone

I'm leaving here

Translate your knowledge to this song

I won't forget

Forget why our words were meant to mesh

Why I'm glad we shared a glass

I gave something to your soul

And you gave me more than you will ever know

Than you will ever know

Than you will ever know

Than you will ever know

Than you will ever know

Than you will ever know

Than you will ever know

Than you will ever know...
