I'd Rather Hear I Don't Love You (Than Nothing at All) Lyrics

I know it's late
But I had to phone.
I knew when you answered
That you weren't alone.
You say you're busy
And I shouldn't call.
I'd rather hear "I don't love you"
Than nothing at all.

It hurts when you tell me
But the sound of your voice

Somehow eases the pain.
You're anxious to hang up

I'm trying to stall
I'd rather hear "I don't love you"
Than nothing at all.

I can't reach out and touch you
Except on the phone.
I know you'd like to hang up
But I'm just hangin' on

Guess I should say good-bye
Before I break down and bawl.
I'd rather hear "I don't love you"
Than nothing at all.

Oh it hurts when you tell me
But the sound of your voice
Somehow eases the pain.
You're anxious to hang up.
I'm trying to stall
I'd rather hear "I don't love you"
Than nothing at all.
Oh rather hear "I don't love you"
Than nothing at all.
