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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/katharine+mcphee/say+goodbye_20868136.html ]
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 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
