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
And tell you that 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 to 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
