It's not the first time that I Had the sense that somethin's wrong I'm old enough to know That things don't always work out like they should I know you're tryin' hard To break it gently to me now But there's no easy way To tell it like it is so baby I don't want to hear anymore You don't need to tell me it's over   I've been here before I've seen that look before I know it well it comes as no surprise You've been avoidin' me But now you want to talk it over Before you take my hand And tell me softly in a whisper There's no need to explain I've read the book I know how this all ends I don't want to hear anymore You don't need to tell me it's over I've been here before I won't ask you to stay I won't stand in your way Look me right in the eye Let me walk away with my head high If there's some other guy I don't need to know why But I don't want to hear anymore You don't need to tell me it's over I've been here before I won't ask you to stay I won't stand in your way And I don't want to hear anymore No no baby I don't want to hear anymore

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le sentiment de résignation face à une relation en déclin. Le narrateur sait que les choses ne se passent pas toujours comme prévu et ressent que la fin est déjà inéluctable. Bien qu’il soit conscient des efforts de l'autre pour aborder la situation avec délicatesse, il préfère ne pas en entendre davantage. Il accepte la séparation, tout en affirmant sa dignité et en choisissant de s’en aller la tête haute. On comprend qu'il a déjà traversé des moments similaires, et cette expérience lui permet de reconnaître les signes d’un amour qui s’éteint. Il exprime une certaine tristesse, mais aussi une volonté de ne pas s'accrocher à une relation qui ne fonctionne plus. L'idée de se libérer est donc centrale dans ce récit.
