The Relieved Goodbye

Verse 1

You packed your bags before I even asked

I saw that smile you tried to hide behind the door

We spent three years pretending we were fine

But both of us were counting down the score

Pre-Chorus

No more forcing conversations that go nowhere

No more sleeping on the edge of the bed

We finally admit what was already there

We were done but neither one had said

Chorus

We didn't cry, we just waved goodbye

Both so relieved we had to laugh

Same front door, different path

Funny how the ending made us feel alive

Post-Chorus

We're alright, alright

Oh, we're alright now

We're alright, alright

Never felt so free somehow

Verse 2

You kept the stereo, I took the couch

Funny how we split it down the middle

Called our friends and said it's over now

They said "finally" and that about says it all

Pre-Chorus

No more faking Sunday dinners with the in-laws

No more laughing at the jokes that miss the mark

Sometimes love just turns into applause

For walking out before it gets too dark

Chorus

We didn't cry, we just waved goodbye

Both so relieved we had to laugh

Same front door, different path

Funny how the ending made us feel alive

Post-Chorus

We're alright, alright

Oh, we're alright now

We're alright, alright

Never felt so free somehow

Bridge

Sorry doesn't fit

'Cause we don't regret a thing

Just two people who got different dreams

And the courage to let go of the string

Chorus

We didn't cry, we just waved goodbye

Both so relieved we had to laugh

Same front door, different path

Funny how the ending made us feel alive

Outro

Oh, we're alright

Yeah, we're alright

Mm
