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 animal
A black dress
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 know?
Did the whole world shatter?
I just wanna hold you
And tell you that 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 a love
But you're my best friend
You're my best friend

You're my best friend
Who could stop this hurt
Who are you 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
When we say goodbye
