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      Just a passenger on your jetliner   Crashing to the ground   But the impact doesn't make a sound      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      Oh, but what I feel   Unfortunately is real   Feeling the sting of pain   Not a damn thing can erase the stain      I'm leaving here   And you'll know why when I'm gone   I'm leaving here   Translate your knowledge through 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'll ever know      Are my senses clear?   Do I feel it here?   Sometimes the past is insincere
