Send "Walk Out Backwards" Ringtone to Cell

(Bill Anderson)

I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
Than face the truth and realize you're leaving me 
You built me up so high my heart can't stand the fall
And life without you 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
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
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.
