Don't be Bothered

If you can't tell me the truth
don't tell me a lie.
And if you've come here to say no,
you know I'm going to cry.

But right to you? I won't.
Can't afford being seen weak.
You won't love me so
I'll find someone who will.
Don't be bothered--I'm only going through hell.

I'll tip down my hat
and walk through the fire.
Get gone so fast
the devil won't know I'm there.

Boy, I love you but
you've played me about.
I won't show I love you
so find someone who will.
Really, I'm not bothered--welcome to hell.
