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! 

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... 

(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...
