Negative - 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 am 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

And did you ever love me
Does it even matter
Did you even notice the whole word shatter
I just want to hold you
And tell you that I am 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 is too much to take in
It is hard to lose a 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
