Lost a lot back in March
Said I'd come alive by August
Two months to go, still nobody's sure
Every evening was a risk
I'd try to take for a kiss
I knew was never gonna come
Tried to call from Union Square
Didn't go through, got in my head
Does he miss me when I'm gone?
Said I'd fly home and say I love you
I got home and couldn't stand you
Isn't that some kind of curse?

Or is it a
Sweet, sweet, sweet relief, oh
Sweet, sweet, sweet relief

Maybe all you were was comfort
Maybe all I am is lonely
Maybe I can live without
It's a good thing that I lost you
Think I'm happier without you
Think I'm happy about that

I think it's a
Sweet, sweet, sweet relief, oh
Sweet, sweet, sweet relief

But I hate that it took courage to build up our last goodbye
And I hate that you don't know
that you're the reason that I write
Least I can hold you softer now we've settled on how close
I can't hold you longer now that friendship's what I chose

It's a
Sweet, sweet, sweet relief, oh
Sweet, sweet, sweet relief
Sweet relief
Sweet relief
Sweet relief
Sweet relief
