I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy Than face the truth and realize you're leavin' me You built me up so high my heart can't stand the 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't just pretend So walk out backwards and I'll think you're walkin' in ( steel ) You walked into my heart in search of sympathy 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 leavin' too So walk out backwards...
