Woke up at 5am
Just to have a few more hours to spend

Watching the sunrise
Fm
That was the first time that I cried
Dm G
Cuz I knew soon as I saw the sun

This day would soon be done
And you'd be on your way

On a plane across the world

And I'd be on my own again

Crying at the airport by myself

We pack up our things to go
Both of us moving so slow

To leave the hotel room

It's all happening too soon
Dm
So I stop
G
To look you in the eyes

As if this is the last time that we'll ever be

Together in a place like this

I give you one last kiss

Before I'm crying at the airport by myself

Watching the world pass us by
I can't help but check the time

It keeps getting away

And try not to acknowledge the reality

You won't be coming home with me

And I'll be on my own again

Crying at the airport by myself

Before you walk away

And leave me standing all alone
