Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day together, always
I really feel that I'm losin' my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as though you're lettin' go
And if it's real, well, I don't want to know
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories, well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands, I sit and cry
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts, no, no, no
Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
It's all ending
We gotta stop pretending
Who we are
You and me
I can see us dyin'
Aren't we?
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
No, no, don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't speak, don't speak
Don't speak, no
I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good, I know you're good
I know you're real good, oh
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Don't, don't, ooh, ooh
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Oh, hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush, darling
The lyrics to No Doubt's song Don't Speak describe the end of a relationship where one partner is breaking up with the other, causing the singer to lose their best friend. The singer knows exactly what their partner is saying and they do not need any explanation or reasons as they know it will only hurt them more. Memories of their time together may be inviting, but they are also frightening. The chorus "Don't speak, I know what you're thinking" appears to be the singer's attempt to protect themselves from further pain by avoiding any discussion or explanation of the situation. Furthermore, the lyrics point to the inevitability of the relationship ending with the line "I can see us dying," reinforcing the sense of helplessness and despair of the singer.

Born in 1970. I spent all of my teens in the 1980’s and all of my 20’s in the 1990’s.
What a lucky kid I was.
The music was so good.
It was a great time to be young in those decades.
Young people today will feel the same about their young decades. They will get old like me and reminisce about the simpler times, as I do now. Cherish these days. Take chances. Don’t dwell on the regrets as you grow older.
Hope this message finds you well.
@philosophyversuslogic
You're a lucky man. Hey, lend me some success, will ya?
@gabevolo294
Nah today's music pales in comparison to the 70's, 80's and 90's
