I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
Than face the truth and realize you're leaving me
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall

And life without your love just isn't life at all

So walk out backwards if you must go

And please don't wave goodbye just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much if i can just pretend
So walk out backwards and i'll think you're walking in


You walked into my heart in search of sympathy
And from that day down to this you've walked all over me

And now you're walking out to love somebody new
But you're not by yourself 'cause my heart's leaving too


So walk out backwards if you must go
And please don't wave goodbye just wave one last hello
It won't hurt so much if i can just pretend

So walk out backwards and i'll think you're walking in
Yes walk out backwards and i'll think you're walking in
