If 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 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 say And a porch light is my spotlight, so I play along this lie That way it won't hurt so much, when we say
Did you ever love me? Does it even matter? Did you even notice, the whole world 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, we say goodbye
My heart feels like a circus It's too much to take It's hard to lose love But you were my best friend
So walk this high wire, alone tonight That way it won't hurt so much, when we goodbye That way it won't hurt so much, when we say goodbye
