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, nothing could stop him
Nothing could stop him, he had to get away

She'll be waiting 'til the end of the world
Just because he didn't say the word
N-n-n-no
No, no
She'll be left a strange and unsettled girl
Just because he didn't say the word
B-b-b-bye
Goodbye

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, nothing could stop me
Nothing could stop me, I had to get away

Now he'll be waiting 'til the end of time
Just because I couldn't say the word
N-n-n-no
No, no
It'll rattle back in the back of his mind
Just because I couldn't say the word
B-b-b-bye
Goodbye

If you're leaving
Say the word, say the word...

I'll be waiting 'til the end of time
Just because you haven't said the word
N-n-n-no
No, no
It'll rattle back in the back of my mind
Just because you haven't said the word
B-b-b-bye
Goodbye
B-b-b-bye
Goodbye
B-b-b-bye
Goodbye
