This is such a beautiful song. I've come back to it several times throughout the years. Katharine McPhee is an incredible talent and deserves much more recognition.
why shes not a mega star is beyond me....her voice is ELITE and shes gorgeous...total talent...if you want to hear another magnificent performance by her...check out her duet with bocelli "The Prayer" wowow fantastic
In 4 years, not even 2 million views yet. What a shame.. Good music goes unnoticed all the time while crappy music be having like over 100 million views in less than a year.
Could not agree more. This is one of the most beautiful songs in the last decade from a true, talented vocalist and it (and she) never received the deserved recognition. Such a shame.
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 to 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
wow.. beautiful... my relationship of 4 years is on a tight rope right now, and i don't believe any song has quite captured my heart as well as this one. it's been Years since i first heard this song, but just stumbled on it now when i most needed it. thank you Katharine McPhee for sharing your stunning voice and heart with the world!
My heart was in my throat from the moment I put this video to the words...this happens to someone everyday..hauntingly beautiful and very well done by Katharine...
I'm not even going through a breakup but listening to this song I might as well be... that's when you know a song is great, because it evokes strong emotions. Bravo.
Each songs in her album Unbroken is pure goodness. I've shed tears countless times almost whenever I hear them. Her voice is so magical, there's so much feeling in it. Not only that, her expressions also! Even though she smiles a lot (she has great smiles) Her eyes is always so sad. I wonder if she feels lonely and isolated all the time like I do. I love the gentleness in her voice. She deserves more appreciation! Comon, Unbroken, out for 2 years, sold 45000 copies??? What the hell people??
This song is so emotional. It reminds me of life just before and after my stroke. My partner left me. And for a good year after they were all I could think about. But hey ho life goes on. With or without you. x
This song is amazing! One of my favorites off of your new album. The video is also perfect for it! Completely captures the emotion that you've put into your song. You are one of the few artisits who can say so much with such a simple song. Love it.
It is nice to see this video is getting near one million. However it should be near 10 million . WAKE UP America and Canada. Katharine McPhee is the most underated talent in the music industry. Hopefully her tv show SMASH will change all of this. This is a beautiful song sung by a singer with the " voice of an angel ".
OMG so happy she released a video for this song ! this song is so emotional and raw , Katharine's voice is so amazing and its a shame she's so underrated.
Hauntingly beautiful but oh so dark! Kat's voice never sounded better or more soulful. This is the genre of song she was meant to sing-- it fits her voice perfectly!
gosh this song means so much to me, i cry so hard when the words really make sense in everything that i was feeling... but i guess it always hurts when we say goodbye...
+Qwyatt Storm im in total agreement...very soulful...moving and shes a knockout on top of it...anyone who thinks shes a no talent is a complete moronic fool or jealous or both
I feel ya. life is becomming hard being alone but god knows when we need, he know's why we cry yet he will always love us for the person he wants us and made us to be. Amen
I heard this song like 7 months ago in my car while driving home... Then suddenly tears started flowing in my eyes unstoppable that I had to pull off the nearest gas station as I can no longer see the road ahead of me. I so hated this song then, as it so reminded me of how I entrusted my heart to someone and just shattered my whole being when I learned he and my best friend made a fool of me until I learned a day before my wedding day about them. This song is like an absolute and complete package of my love life. Now I listen to this and falls in love for the very first time with a smile in my face. Stronger, wiser and maybe even happier... I learned that now. I learned that there is no hurt aches time can't heal... There is no tremendous pain time can't mend... There is no love, no matter how strong is irreplaceable... Love as I see it is just a feeling... Life is stronger... I am stronger now... He is not at all worth it! I was young to believe that nothing in life matters after a love is wasted... I am still free and single, yet free to feel and free to choose my own happiness... So now I said goodbye to the past and it includes everything about it... I just wonder now if there is a song that is the exact opposite of this one...
derf edab Hey Derf, I hope life is being kind to you, destiny has a way of making better choices than we do! If your guy cheated on you then my bet is this song would never bring him to tears. The far reaching depth of these lyrics hit my heart like an arrow! I agree with you, that kind of pain is ruthless. But your heart has the amazing ability to heal and help you move on. Please, please love well and happier in the knowledge that this song was written as part of your life!
I cry 😢each time i watch this video. The entire 3 minute song told the whole sad story and the emotions so real. Katharine is amazing. She is an exceptional talent. It takes so much to take in. I cry every time.
Oh God... Beautiful... I'm very happy that her record company select this song as a video!!! Sorry by my english!!! This song have a lot of time. Love it!
Just started to get it on my iPhone and thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you both for the lovely music. I am 75 and there isn’t any music on tv anymore like this. Dean Martin’s show was so much fun and great singing. So thank you again. 🤓🇨🇦
everytime i watched this video...i cant help but cry.........i remember of something that hurts me the most...and that is saying goodbye to the person you love just because you want to be in a right path..even i love him i had to let go him and forget all about him..
My best blessings have come from my worst days--the days when I continued even as I thought my heart and soul, my mind and body would break. These are the gifted days of willingness that have tagged my being, thrown my spirit into "overdrive" and turned my life into an adventure of courage, honesty, self-allowing and potent love....
I was with him for almost 5 years. I was incredibly happy with him. he made me feel the best feeling in the world... and thats falling inlove and being loved in return.. I never imagined us being apart coz I never wanted it to end.. but life sucks.. and we came to that moment where we just cant be together anymore.. :( and yes it hurts so much to say goodbye :'(
Is your love worth fighting for? Remember the word love is a verb. Love is something you do, I am sorry but love is not a feeling. If your relationship with the man is over, reconcile with him. Clear the air with him and go on. It may not happen right away, but you can move on with or without him. Take care of you, don't worry about anything else but you. From your photo you look like a beautiful girl. There are men out there looking just you with your inner and outer beauty.
Thanks for the advice, Its been 3 months that i havent spoken to him... We really needed the time off coz we have been fighting alot for the months before the relationship ended. I can safely say that both of us wanted the separation.. We still love eachother and Im thinking of him everynight.. but we did it for the best of us two. We simply cannot be together..
The whole album is magnificent, underrated to say the least. All of her songs from Unbroken should be top 10 hits. But unfortunately; kids these days don't appreciate good music anymore. And yes, great video too!
This is such a beautiful song. I've come back to it several times throughout the years. Katharine McPhee is an incredible talent and deserves much more recognition.
YES
Me too
Why is the girl not A mega star,I have always loved her.Her voice is amazing
Indeed!...She is a great singer!..she should be a mega star like you said!!
Tony Adams SHe's amazing! She's a lead on the show Scoprion though, and it's a hit. She's doing great at acting!
Tony Adams Isn't this the bitch who had an affair with a married man? Shame.
Yeah that might have had something to do with her demise
Luther Elmingham so many famous girls has affairs with other dudes so?
the way she smiles when she says ' but you were my best friend'... is just heart rending. i broke down.
My God... that`s what I call singing from the heart...
One of the most beautiful songs I`ve ever heard and such a heavenly voice!
This is still one of my fav pop albums. I love her sweet voice
why shes not a mega star is beyond me....her voice is ELITE and shes gorgeous...total talent...if you want to hear another magnificent performance by her...check out her duet with bocelli "The Prayer" wowow fantastic
And that's where I know her.. I even thought she really owns tjat song. Silly me, right? 😁👌
Paige Dineen (scorpion)....Robert Chase (Dr house) simply beautiful.....
Amazing voice of katherine mcphee!!!
American Idol first
This is the most amazing video and song that she has done. So emotional! Buy Unbroken if you haven't already.
I love me some Jesse Spencer - I adore Dr Chase!
Such a sad but beatifully shot video. Very haunting.
she is amazing, he is amazing, the song is amazing!, what else can i ask for? :)
Dr.Chase aka Jesse Spencer...! and the beautiful Katharine McPhee! love them both :)
Jesse Spencer
2019 around the corner, and this is so achingly beautiful I don't know where to put all the feels.
One of the most emotional, touching, and beautiful songs i"ve heard in my life! Love you Katharine!
Her voice is phenomenal . Their is a perfect emotion for the song and the quality of her voice is world class ! She need to be a superstar !!!
This song is so sad yet beautiful. This video now makes me interpret the song in a different, more tragic way.
In 4 years, not even 2 million views yet. What a shame.. Good music goes unnoticed all the time while crappy music be having like over 100 million views in less than a year.
Could not agree more. This is one of the most beautiful songs in the last decade from a true, talented vocalist and it (and she) never received the deserved recognition. Such a shame.
3 millions now!
for example Ariana Shit Grande :)
Never heard this song before. Beautiful. Never knew Jesse Spencer was in this video.
God! I could listen to this lady all day! She is so exceptional. I feel every note that she sings..
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 to 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
beautifully written...beautifully sung...beautifully performed....touching
wow.. beautiful... my relationship of 4 years is on a tight rope right now, and i don't believe any song has quite captured my heart as well as this one. it's been Years since i first heard this song, but just stumbled on it now when i most needed it. thank you Katharine McPhee for sharing your stunning voice and heart with the world!
This song is freakin beautiful......Yes Kat Mcphee
"Words are like scissors in your hands" - one of my favourite lyrics of all time.

her writing is so brilliant. she is such a genuine singer. awesome lyrics.
My best blessings have come from my worst days--the days when I continued even as I thought my heart and soul, my mind and body would break.
These are the gifted days of willingness that have tagged my being, thrown my spirit into "overdrive" and turned my life into an adventure of courage, honesty, self-allowing and potent love....
Amen, Blessings to you my dear friend Mackhy,have a great day
Paulette Morris thank you a lot my dear sister...I wish you joy:)godbless of us"
"it's hard to loose a love, but you were my best friend"
best part of the song!
I was with him for almost 5 years. I was incredibly happy with him. he made me feel the best feeling in the world... and thats falling inlove and being loved in return.. I never imagined us being apart coz I never wanted it to end.. but life sucks.. and we came to that moment where we just cant be together anymore.. :( and yes it hurts so much to say goodbye :'(

First song to give me chills!!
WOAH I never knew what people meant when they said that, but now I know! I actually shivered!
This song reminds me the saddest moment that was happened in my life :(
The song is so sad but it makes u cry more when u realize the song is about him leaving her when he commits suicide
This brings to mind the suicide of my nephew in 2019...
61 people don't know what real music is. Katharine McPhee's songs are love!!
amma big fan,..love her music and songs.
she's amazing :)
That last shot of her in black and white is so stunning
