If I seem distant, Baby I am... Words are like scissors in your hands And theres no script to follow, so I just close my eyes That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye I feel just like an actress up on the stage I cant believe, what Im hearing myself say And the porch light is my spotlight. So I play along with this life That way it wont 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 till you know Im sorry But I just keep it all inside. That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye My heart feels like a circus... Its too much to take in Its hard to lose love, but you were my best friend So I walk this high wire... Alone tonight That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye
