If you see me walking down the street

And I start to cry each time we meet

Walk on by

Walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve in private

Cause each time I see you I break down and cry

Walk on by

I just can't get over losing you

And so if I seem broken and blue

Walk on by

Walk on by

Foolish pride that's all that I have left

So let me hide the tears and

the sadness you gave me when

you said goodbye

Walk on by

If you see me walking down the

street and I start to cry each

time we meet

Walk on by

Walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve in private

Cause each time I see you I break down and cry

Walk on by

I just can't get over losing you

And so if I seem broken and blue

Walk on by

Walk on by

Foolish pride is all I have left so let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me when you said goodbye

Walk on by
