I don't want to hear any more Lyrics
It's not the first time, that I've
had the sense that something's wrong
But I'm old enough to know
That things don't always work out like they should
I know you're trying 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 any more
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 avoiding 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 the story ends
I don't want to hear any more
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 any more
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 any more
No, no, baby I don't want to hear any more
had the sense that something's wrong
But I'm old enough to know
That things don't always work out like they should
I know you're trying hard
To break it gently to me now
But there's no easy way
To tell it like it is so baby
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before
I know it well, it comes as no surprise
You've been avoiding 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 the story ends
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
Let me walk away with my head high
I don't need to know why, but
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
No, no, baby I don't want to hear any more

"There's no need to explain I've read the book; I know how this all ends"
I'm so proud to be the first poster. This song's self-explanatory
Sounds to me like he sings "I've read the book, I know how the story ends"
Maybe I'm wrong but it would go with the whole 'book' theme of that line.
