Tell Her You Don’t Love Her Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of watchin' her cry on my livin' room couch
The sound of your name swings her mood, puts the rain in her clouds
She can't be herself at a party 'cause she's in her head
Asks me if I think that she's pretty enough for your bed

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to but I can't save her
Could you just do me a favor?

[Chorus]
Tell her you don't love her, even if it's a lie
Make it sound true
Break that spell she's under, even if it feels mean
Do what you gotta do
Don't leave a doubt, don't break her fall
Don't see her out, don't tell her you'll call
Tell her you don't love her
If you ever loved her at all

[Verse 2]
You swear once you get your shit together, you'll show up
But you and I both know deep down you're too old to grow up
No more maybes, sorry, somedays
Have a little mercy on her, could you just, could you just
[Chorus]
Tell her you don't love her, even if it's a lie
Make it sound true (Make it sound true)
Break that spell she's under, even if it feels mean
Do what you gotta do
Don't leave a doubt, don't break her fall
Don't see her out, don't tell her you'll call
Tell her you don't love her (Tell her you don't love her)
If you ever loved her at all

[Outro]
You can't leave a doubt, so don't break her fall
Don't see her out, don't tell her you'll call
Tell her you don't love her
If you ever loved her, loved her at all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
