I don't wanna tell you
You don't have a place in my heart
I don't like bein' the only one
That knows there's somethin' tearin' us a part
I can't write a goodbye letter
Loving eyes won't read between the lines
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find

I don't wanna tell you
But it seems the only way to make this clear
And I don't wanna tell you
So I'll just stop and have another beer
'Cause when I get home
I don't want my conscience weighin' on my mind
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find

For so long I've tried to show you
Hopin' you'd just see that somethin's wrong
The more that I let go of you
The more I feel you just keep hangin' on
So long I've known it's over
Always wishin' you could read my mind
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find

I don't wanna tell you
But it seems the only way to make this clear
I don't wanna tell you
So I'll just stop and have another beer
'Cause when I get home
I don't want my conscience weighin' on my mind
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find
