She was standing at the barrier by Security Check
That was as far as they'd let her
Trails of mascara down her cheeks and her neck
Worried her loved one might forget her

He is leaving today
I watched him run, run, run
To catch his plane
Determination on his face
Nothing could stop him
He had to get away

She'll be waiting till the end of the world
Just because he didn't say the word:
"No"
She'll be such a strange and unsettled girl
Just because he didn't say the word:
"Bye…"

It reminded me of something I've been trying to forget
A window I left wide open
The day I didn't say the words that I should've said
And left a hungry man hoping

I was leaving that day
I had to run, run, run
To catch my train
I heard him calling out my name
But nothing could stop me
I had to get away

He'll be waiting till the end of time
Just because I couldn't say the word:
"No"
It'll rattle at the back of his mind
Just because I couldn't say the word:
"Bye…"

So if you're leaving
Say the word
If you're leaving me
You gotta say the word

Or I'll be waiting till the end of time
Just because you haven't said the word:
"No"
It'll rattle at the back of my mind
Just because you haven't said the word:
"Bye…"
