When you see them walking down the street
All those people that you never meet
Do you wonder what they know
Think of where they go
Or what they do
And all the people you've known
Who have come and then gone
Will move along their way
Some say goodbye and turn away
Some you'll admire
Some walk a line, they never stray
Some play with fire
If you ask me what I miss the most
It's the innocence that I have known
But expectations cost more than I have lost
And it's hard to pay
And all the people I've known
Who have come and then gone
Will move along their way
Some say goodbye and turn away
Some you'll admire
Some walk a line, they never stray
Some play with fire
Some will catch your eye, and it's haunting
Half the time you won't see it coming
With some you'll find your heart close to breaking
Just when you thought you gave what you're taking
Some say goodbye and turn away
Some you'll admire
Some walk a line, they never stray
Some play with fire
Some say goodbye and turn away
Some you'll admire
Some walk a line, they never stray
Some just get tired
You watch them walk away
Some say goodbye
