Getting off that plane, just one tear in my eye
A kiss, a laugh, a wave, was all to say goodbye
And now that I have gone, my life has taken a turn
I'm thinking of my home and my heart starts to burn
And now I realise I have made my mistakes
I never gave enough - all I did was take
And now it is all over - I have had my turn
I realise there's still so much for me to learn
And you will see that there's nothing left for me
Reality is I've been all I want to be
And you will find I had no choice but to stay
Turn back the time - I have nothing left to say
Remembering old times is like a slap in the face
The dreams I had forgotten all around that place
The mountains, seas and forests, like an open door
But memories are blind - they leave me wanting more
And now I realise I have made my mistakes
I never gave enough - all I did was take
And now it is all over - I have had my turn
I realise there's still so much for me to learn
And you will see that there's nothing left for me
Reality is I've been all I want to be
And you will find I had no choice but to stay
Turn back the time - I have nothing left to say
