Another excellent Bob Clay co-write. A wistful country-rocker for your next project.

When you say we need to talk
It scares me to death
Cause I know if I lose you
I’ll have nothing left

Just let me go on believing
That we’ll be OK
I don’t think I could stand it
If you went away

Chorus:
If you’ve decided to leave
You know it will break my heart
But I don’t want you to tell me
Just go ahead and go
If you say you don’t love me
It will tear my world apart
So darling please don’t tell me
Cause I don’t want to know

You don’t have to say a thing
To make yourself heard
The message is loud and clear
Please don’t say a word

Bridge:
I’d rather live in solitude
Without ever knowing why
Than to have the silence broken
By the sound of your goodbye

Chorus:
If you’ve decided to leave
You know it will break my heart
But I don’t want you to tell me
Just go ahead and go
If you say you don’t love me
It will tear my world apart
So darling please don’t tell me
Cause I don’t want to know
