Upon My Departure

Lyrics for Upon My Departure

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
