It's 7:30, and I'm late, they're calling at the airport gate
We are running out of time, I have to go and stand in line
I know you love me, but now it's time to let me go
And I know you're sad, but please don't cry
After all, it's not goodbye
We're just letting go for a little while
And with your final words you lied, when you tell me you'll be fine
You even faked a smile before I disappear behind the door
My heart is beating against the walls inside my chest
But I can go back anytime, after all it's not goodbye
We're just letting go for a little while
Ooh, for a little while
I guess all that's left to say is I will miss you each and every day
Now, as I stand here on my own, I'm filled with memories of home
And all the friends that I have known
I realize how much we've grown
It feels like only yesterday, that would walk down Butcher Lane
But I can go back anytime, after all it's not goodbye
We're just letting go for a little while
Ooh, for a little while
And I hope they know I will always hold them close
We're just letting go for a little while
