Good friends will part sometimes
That’s just the way it goes
Don’t waste your life
Banging on doors that have been closed
Sometimes the ones you trust the most
Will let you down
Life doesn’t hold back
When it’s kicking you around
You’ve lived a little, loved a little
Tasted bitter heartache
You’ve got to just forget the ones who hurt you
For your own sake
If they can’t see it your way
Walk through that open doorway
Before your sadness turns to hate
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh
Don’t let it get you down!
The world is such a scary place
When you’re alone
You’re on an empty stage
You got no microphone
But don’t you hide behind the curtains
In the wings
Step out into the lights and
Let ‘em hear you sing
You’ve laughed a little, cried a little
Now you know the dangers
You’ve seen so many faces once familiar
Turn to strangers
If they can’t see it your way
Walk through that open doorway
Before your sadness turns to hate
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh
Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh
Don’t let it get you down!
Sometimes you just gotta make your own way
That’s alright
Please don’t let it shut you out
There is always more
If they can’t see it your way
Walk through that open doorway
Before your sadness turns to hate
Don’t let it get you down!
(Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh)
Good friends will part sometimes now
(Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh)
Good friends will part sometimes now
(Evacuate o-o-oh o-oh)
Before your sadness turns to hate
