[Intro]

[Intro] The airport lights bleach cold and sharp Your ticket glows like a final card One last breath, one last pressed kiss I’m still clinging to what I’ll miss [Verse 1] Suitcase wheels scrape the linoleum floor Echoes bounce off the terminal’s core Your hand slips free from my white-knuckled grip Like the last thread of a frayed ship The loudspeaker barks your flight number out loud My chest caves in, but I don’t make a sound Strangers swarm, but I’m frozen in place Watching the only home I know erase [Chorus] Don’t go—you’re the blood in my veins Tears carve trenches where my heart remains This airport’s a tomb with a glass wall facade Without you, I’m just a hollow facade Don’t go—my world’s splitting at the seams You’re the only map to my broken dreams [Verse 2] Your eyes glisten, a dam holding back rain You lie soft, “My love, this isn’t the end” But every step you take toward the gate Feels like a century I can’t abate Your jacket still clings to your cedar scent I inhale deep, trying to make it permanent Time flatlines, stuck in this cruel scene In the belly of this machine that splits what’s mean [Chorus] Don’t go—you’re the love of my life Tears in my eyes, pain sharp as a knife I clutch your name like a prayer in my soul Without your touch, I’m half a whole Don’t go—I’m terrified of the dark Without your voice, I lose my mark [Verse 3] The final call blares, a death knell in the air You melt into the crowd, like you were never there I press my palm to the fogged glass pane A thousand miles between us, one single chain I trace your silhouette fading from view Wishing I could tear the sky in two Your lips move, but the noise swallows the sound I read them clear: “I won’t let you down” [Chorus] Don’t go—you’re my only safe ground In this world, I’m stranded, unbound These tears flood like a hurricane’s reign Love and distance taste the same pain Don’t go—my heart can’t pretend That this goodbye won’t break the end [Bridge] If love’s a fire, it won’t burn out Across the oceans, through the doubt I’ll count the days, I’ll scan the night sky Every star’s a postcard from your eye Promise me you’ll come back soon Under the same silver moon No matter how far the horizon stretches apart Your heart’s still stitched to my heart [Chorus] Don’t go—you’re the love of my life Tears in my eyes, pain sharp as a knife No distance can scrub your name from my soul You’re every crack where my light still holds Don’t go—wherever you are You’ll always be my guiding star [Outro] Your plane climbs high, piercing the clouds Carrying all the words I never allowed In every contrail, in every night’s glow I’ll love you through every flight you go
