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
