**(Verse 1)** The silence in this apartment's loud Since you decided we were through I see your face in every cloud Don't know quite what I'm s'posed to do I replay all my wrongs and rights And stare alone across the land But then I strike a tiny light And let it take me by the hand **(Pre-Chorus)** And the world starts to slowwww down... A new melody is found... **(Chorus)** My green relief, it understands Lifts me up on gentle hands And for a while, I'm in a band Of happy thoughts inside my head This sweet smoke hides the empty space Puts a smile on my face And I forget I've been replaced And forget the words you said! **(Verse 2)** I used to call you on the phone To hear the music in your voice Now I just spark this peace I own It's my own special, better choice The Four Tops spin upon the plate But their lost love don't sting the same 'Cause I'm floatin' in a better state And forgetin' my own name **(Pre-Chorus)** And the room starts to spinnnn round... No more sad tears to be found... **(Chorus)** My green relief, it understands Lifts me up on gentle hands And for a while, I'm in a band Of happy thoughts inside my head This sweet smoke hides the empty space Puts a smile on my face And I forget I've been replaced And forget the words you said! **(Bridge)** Now, I know it's just a temporary fix A little cloud of magic tricks But when the heartache hits... oh, it hits so hard This is my gettin'-by card... yeah... **(Chorus)** My green relief, it understands! (He understands!) Lifts me up on gentle hands! (Take me up!) And for a while, I'm in a band! Of happy thoughts inside my head! (In my head!) This sweet smoke hides the empty space! (All that space!) Puts a smile on my face! (On my face!) And I forget I've been replaced! Yes, I forget the words you said! **(Outro)** Forgot the words you said... My green relief... Gonna get by... oh yeah... Fade out on the repeating bassline and soft, shimmering cymbals.
