Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
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 saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are
You and me I can see us dying, are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
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 saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak
Don't speak
Don't speak
Oh I know what you're thinking
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 la la la la
Don't, don't, uh-huh hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' hush, hush
Don't tell me tell me 'cause it hurts




Hush, hush darlin' hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me 'cause it hurts

Does anybody ever just get tired of today's music and find them selves going on a old music rampage.

@anthonypoole6106

Yes

@Melt3r996

I can’t stand popular music

@T.F.O3

Did you put this comment on every old song 🤔

@jony6907

Ok boomer

@geminikb

Omg all the time. I’m 44 and have favorites from the 60s, 70s, 80s,
90s that rock my world. I was in my 20s when this song came out. Don’t think we had smart phones just yet. I swear the advent of
smart phones, in my life, is a before/after marker of the times. This song is very nostalgic for me.

Call me crazy, but Don’t Speak is one of the best songs of all time. Genuinely ageless. Plus I love the guitar solo.

@MariaGutierrez-eh3ec

Sounds like a classic Spanish guitar rift

@johnathongarcia564

@LeonL47 you can enjoy all types of music, brotha.
