[hometext] => No... It hurts too much...
[bodytext] => My eyelids grow heavy I cannot let them close I'm afraid to travel Where my mind now often goes Running, panting, calling you Growing out of breath Through an airport, alarms blaring Making my body deaf Because of all the bustle I can't hear my alarm ring I can't be freed from this terror Until I've seen the whole thing. Trapped in this mental airport Security at my heels I chase you trying to get back The one thing I knew was real You're about to reach your gate And I make the last ditch effort Of diving to catch hold of you So as not to lose you forever But security has caught up with me And now pins me to the floor And I shout out after you That I'll love you forevermore Time stands still for a moment As you turn to face my way My heart pounds in my head Waiting to hear what you will say You stare straight into my eyes The way you used to, but Instead of saying you love me too You call me an idiot. My eyes open wide, I look around And find none of it was real So why is my heart still pounding? What's this fear I still can feel? Now I'm awake, I can't go to sleep I must avoid the pain I don't think I can take the hurt Of watching you board that plane.
