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
