Walk Out Backwards

(Bill Anderson)



(Walk out backwards and I'll think you're walking in.)



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

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 walking in.



--- Instrumental ---



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 find somebody new

But you're not by yourself cause my heart's leaving too.



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 walking in.



Walk out backwards and I'll think you're walking in...
