[Verse 1]

I don't say much when you're close

I let the silence talk instead

Red lights laying on your skin

You look past me like I'm already dead

I've been tired for too long

Pretending I'm okay

You say "stay another night"

I might forget my name

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't hold me like before

I still wait outside your door

You use me when you're breaking

Then leave when you're fine again

[Chorus]

Tarmac, watching you pull away

Tarmac, runway lights start to fade

Tarmac, you say you'll come back

Tarmac, knowing you won't stay

I'm stuck with my feet on the ground, can't move

Every time I let go

I’m still waiting on you

[Verse 2]

You talk soft, but you're not here

Your eyes don't meet mine

Dead cigarette in the glass

I keep counting all the ways we ran out of time

Your fingers taste like mistakes

Cheap hotels and guilt

You drop your weight on my chest

Pick it up when you leave

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't ask, I don't fight

I just lose you every night

Don't call it love

If I'm just where you hide

[Chorus]

Tarmac, watching you pull away

Tarmac, runway lights start to fade

Tarmac, you say you'll come back

Tarmac, knowing you won't stay

I'm stuck with my feet on the ground, can't move

Every time I let go

I'm still waiting on you

[Bridge]

If love's supposed to hurt like this

Maybe I'm not built for it

I stay when I should run

I wait when you’re already done

[Outro]

Engines calling my name

You don't turn around

I stay on the tarmac

While you're already out

If I finally leave now

Will it still feel the same?
