Lyrics

Jackie Boyz - Souvenir
Not even a wave
As she boards the plane
Looks over her shoulders
As they closed the gate
Heart on my sleeve
Ring in my hand
Last thing she said
It's too late you'll never understand
Baby girl bought a one way ticket
Anywhere far away from me
No suitcase packed
Left just like that
She's gone indefinitely
If I just had one more chance
Show you I'm a different man
Now it's too late to see
I would have gave the world to you
This should have been a trip for two
When girl I'm at the airport
With nothing but my passport
Left me standing here
Took my heart as a souvenir [x3]
Pulling away
I'm taking the plane
Cause you're taking off
And the sky looks so grey
You've left me behind
Here on the ground
Watching a part of me disappear with you in the clouds
Baby girl bought a one way ticket
Anywhere far away from me
No suitcase packed
Left just like that
She's gone indefinitely
If I just had one more chance
Show you I'm a different man
Now it's too late to see
I would have gave the world to you
This should have been a trip for two
When girl I'm at the airport
With nothing but my passport
Left me standing here
Took my heart as a souvenir [x3]
You're flying away
Into the sky
I'm feeling so empty deep inside
But if I'll never have you here
Keep my heart as a souvenir
I would have gave the world to you
This should have been a trip for two
When girl I'm at the airport
With nothing but my passport
Left me standing here
Took my heart as a souvenir [x3]
Not even a wave
As she boards the plane
Looks over her shoulders
As they closed the gate
