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 actor 

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 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
