Hush Hush
Avril Lavigne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hush hush, shh
Hush hush

I didn't mean to kiss you
You didn't mean to fall in love
I never meant to hurt you
We never meant for it to mean this much
Hush hush, now

I wanted to keep you
Forever next to me
You know that I still do
And all I wanted was to believe
Hush hush, now

So go on, live your life
So go on, say goodbye
So many questions
But I don't ask why
So this time I won't even try
Hush hush, now
Mm, hush hush, now

When I try to forget you
I just keep on remembering
What we had was so true
And somehow we lost everything
Hush hush, now
(Hush hush, now)

So go on, live your life
So go on, say goodbye
So many questions
But I don't ask why, no
So go on, live your life
So go on, and say goodbye
So many questions
But I don't ask why
Maybe someday
But not tonight
Hush hush, now

Hush, hush, now
Hush, hush, now

Don't, don't, don't you ever say a word, word
Of what you ever thought you heard, heard
Don't you ever tell a soul
But you know
I tried to hide, but I still believe
We, that we were always meant to be, be
And I can't never let you go, no
Hush hush, now

So go on, live your life
So go on, and say goodbye
So many questions
But I don't ask why, no
So go on, live your life
So go on, and say goodbye
So many questions, but I don't ask why
Maybe someday
But not tonight
Hush hush, now, mm




Hush hush, now, mm
Hush hush, shh
