Say Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I seem distant...
Baby, I Am.
Words are like scissors..
In your hands.
And there is 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 ot 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 lie.
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 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 were my best friend.
So I walk this highwire
Alone tonight...
That way it won't hurt so much
When we say goodbye. (2x)
