"Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me" is a song by English synth-pop duo Erasure, released as the second single from their eighth studio album, Cowboy (1997). It is an uptempo dance music song written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. Mute Records issued the single in the UK. For the song's release in the United States, Maverick Records requested a remix for radio. The US single version of "Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me" is different from what is on the Cowboy album; the song's intro was changed, as well as the middle eight section. An entire verse, edited out of the album version, is restored on the American single release.
On the UK Singles Chart, "Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me" peaked at number 23, ending a chart run of 24 consecutive top-20 singles for Erasure. It also reached number 26 on the Swedish Singles Chart but did not enter the US Billboard Hot 100. Club remixes proved to be more successful, reaching number five on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The single's B-side is a live cover version of Blondie's "Heart of Glass".
