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
