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
