Katharine Mcphee - 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
