I’d Rather Hear I Don’t Love You (Than Nothing At All)

[Verse 1]
I know it's late
And I should move on
I knew when you answered
That you weren't in love
You say you're busy
And I shouldn't come
I'd rather hear I don't love you
Than nothering at all

[Chorus]
It hurts when you tell me
I'm comin' in vain
But the sound of your voice
Somehow raises the pain
You're anxious to hang up
I'm trying to stall
I'd rather hear I don't love you
Than nothering at all

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I can't reach out and touch
Except on the phone
I know you'd like to hang up
But I'm just hanging on
Yes, I should say goodbye
'Fore I break down and go
I'd rather hear I don't love you
Than nothering at all

[Chorus]
It hurts when you tell me
I'm comin' in vain
But the sound of your voice
Somehow raises the pain
You're anxious to hang up
I'm trying to stall
I'd rather hear I don't love you
Than nothering at all

[Outro]
I'd rather hear I don't love you
Than nothering at all
