[Verse 1]
It's not the first time
That I've had the sense that something's wrong
But I'm old enough to know
That things don't always work out like they should
I know you're trying hard
To break it gently to me, now
But there's no easy way
To tell it like it is, so baby

[Chorus]
I don't want to hear any more
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before

[Verse 2]
I've seen that look before
I know it well, it comes as no surprise
You've been avoiding me
But now you want to talk it over
Before you take my hand
And tell me softly in a whisper
There's no need to explain
I've read the book, I know how this all ends

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I won't ask you to stay
I won't stand in your way
Look me right in the eyes
Let me walk away with my head high
If there's some other guy
I don't need to know why

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I won't ask you to stay
I won't stand in your way
And I don't want to hear any more
No, no, baby
I don't want to hear any more
