Say Goodbye

If I seem distant

Baby I am

Words are like scissors in your hands

And there's no script to follow

So I just close my eyes

That way it won't hurt so much

When we say goodbye

I feel just like an actress

Up on the stage

I can't believe

What I'm hearing myself say

And the porch light is my spotlight

So I play along with this life

That way it won't hurt so much

When we say goodbye

Did you ever love me

Does it even matter

Did you even notice the whole world shatter

I just want to hold you 'til you know I'm sorry

But I just keep it all inside

That way it won't hurt so much

When we say goodbye

My heart feels like a circus

It's too much to take in

It's hard to lose love

But you were my best friend

So I walk this high wire

Alone tonight

That way it won't hurt so much

When we say goodbye

That way it won't hurt so much

When we say goodbye
