Walk Out Backwards

                                  I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy

Than to 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

But 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



Well, 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

But 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
