I Don't Wanna Tell You
Unspoken Goodbyes: Clint Black's Heartfelt Confession
Lyrics
I don't wanna tell you
I am reluctant to inform you
You don't have a place in my heart
You do not hold a special place in my emotions
I don't like bein' the only one
I dislike being the sole individual
That knows there's somethin' tearin' us a part
Aware that something is causing a rift between us
I can't write a goodbye letter
I am unable to compose a farewell letter
Loving eyes won't read between the lines
Loving eyes cannot discern the unspoken message
I don't wanna tell you
I am hesitant to disclose
There's just no other way that I can find
No alternative approach is evident to me
I don't wanna tell you
I am averse to revealing to you
But it seems the only way to make this clear
However, it appears to be the only method to convey this clearly
And I don't wanna tell you
I am resistant to confess
So I'll just stop and have another beer
So I'll choose to pause and consume another beer instead
'Cause when I get home
Because upon returning home
I don't want my conscience weighin' on my mind
I prefer not to have guilt burdening my thoughts
I don't wanna tell you
I am reluctant to inform you
There's just no other way that I can find
No alternative approach is evident to me
For so long I've tried to show you
For a considerable duration, I've attempted to demonstrate to you
Hopin' you'd just see that somethin's wrong
Hoping you would perceive that something is awry
The more that I let go of you
The more I release my hold on you
The more I feel you just keep hangin' on
The more I sense you persistently clinging on
So long I've known it's over
Long ago, I acknowledged it's concluded
Always wishin' you could read my mind
Always desiring you could intuitively understand my thoughts
I don't wanna tell you
I am reluctant to inform you
There's just no other way that I can find
No alternative approach is evident to me
I don't wanna tell you
I am averse to revealing to you
But it seems the only way to make this clear
However, it appears to be the only method to convey this clearly
I don't wanna tell you
I am resistant to confess
So I'll just stop and have another beer
So I'll choose to pause and consume another beer instead
'Cause when I get home
Because upon returning home
I don't want my conscience weighin' on my mind
I prefer not to have guilt burdening my thoughts
I don't wanna tell you
I am reluctant to inform you
There's just no other way that I can find
No alternative approach is evident to me
