What a relief

Nothing left but the shouting

Nothing left but the pain

Nothing left but the doubting

Nothing raining but rain

I should be feeling despondent

I should be lost in my grief

But all that I feel inside

Is what a relief

What a relief

My life’s not a short story

My life’s more than pretend

My life has it’s tomorrows

Stories come to an end

Fictional hearts can be broken

Real ones don’t heal all that well

Amazing to still be here

And what a relief

No, I don’t regret the day that I first met you

No, there’ll never be a time when I’ll forget you

Oh, if only half the things I’ve lived and planned for

Turned out for the best

This will take getting used to

Something new on my mind

Somehow making a new start

Somehow hoping I’ll find

Those moments we can advance to

Moments we have a chance to

Turn a new leaf

Those moments are few

And always too brief

But what a relief

And surely, you’re still you

I’m still me, that’s for certain

I’m still no good at letting go

So, please let’s not even say hello

Snow is falling all around, falling everywhere

I walk through it all alone, you’re no longer there
