Katharine McPhee Say Goodbye lyrics

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
