Emily Osment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say that you never gonna leave me
Two time that you tell me that you need me
Well this line is mine, just think about it!
You don't know,
You don't know,
You don't know!
Don't say that you'll never find somebody like me,
Well, keep quite baby I don't wanna hear you speak,
The words you say, they don't mean a thing!
You don't know,
You don't know,
You don't know!

Hush now, baby, don't say a word,
You better give it up or you gonna get hurt!
Hush now, baby, don't say a word,
You better give it up or you gonna get hurt!

You think I don't know that you don't mean it,
That you don't mean it!
And you don't think it shows that I still need it,
That I steel need it!
You think I won't go if you don't feel it,
If you don't feel it!
We fall in, fall out,
We follow hush, hush don't say a word!

You're saying I'm only hearing what I want to,
But you don't wanna hear a word how I need you,
And I know we both don't hear a thing.
You don't know,
You don't know,
You don't know!
So don't say I need to listen to you better
You pulled it away from me forever!
I just can't get my head around it!
You don't know,
You don't know,
You don't know!

Hush now, baby, don't say a word,
You better give it up or you gonna get hurt!
Hush now, baby, don't say a word,
You better give it up or you gonna get hurt!

You think I don't know that you don't mean it,
That you don't mean it!
And you don't think it shows that I still need it,
That I steel need it!
You think I won't go if you don't feel it,
If you don't feel it!
We fall in, fall out,
We follow hush, hush don't say a word!

Oh, yeah, yeah!
I know we can make life,
Make new again!
I know you wanna back track and start again!
I think you know I'm worth fighting for,
I think we should hush don't say a word!
I think we should hush don't say a word!

Hush now, baby, don't say a word,
You better give it up or you gonna get hurt!
Hush now, baby, don't say a word,
You better give it up or you gonna get hurt!

You think I don't know that you don't mean it,
That you don't mean it!
And you don't think it shows that I still need it,
That I steel need it!
You think I won't go if you don't feel it,
If you don't feel it!
We fall in, fall out,
We follow hush, hush don't say a word!

Change my mind,
This is goodbye




Just one more try,
You won't change my mind! tell them all, tell them tell them hard.

Overall Meaning

The song "Hush" by Emily Osment and Josh Ramsay is a song about a failing relationship, with the lyrics indicating a struggle for communication between the two individuals involved. The opening lines suggest that the person is saying all the right things, promising to never leave and expressing their need for the other person, but the singer isn't buying it. They tell them to be quiet and not speak because the words they say don't mean a thing. The chorus repeats the phrase "Hush now, baby, don't say a word, You better give it up or you gonna get hurt!" suggesting a need for silence and possibly avoiding confrontation.


The middle of the song discusses the other person's skepticism, that the singer is only hearing what they want to hear, and the realization that they aren't hearing each other. The lyrics suggest a desire for more communication and understanding, but that it doesn't seem possible. The song ends with a repeated plea for silence and a push for an end to the relationship.

[Verse 1: Emily Osment]
You say that you're never gonna leave me
Well two times that ya tell me that ya need me
Well this line is mine, just think about it
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know

Don't say you'll never find somebody like me
Well keep quiet baby, I don't wanna hear you speak
The words you say, they don't mean a thing
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know

Hush now baby don't say a word
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt
Hush now baby don't say a word
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt

You think I don't know
That you don't mean it
That you don't mean it
And you don't think it shows
That I still need it
That I still need it
You think I won't go
If you don't feel it
If you don't feel it
We fall in, fall out, follow
Hush, hush, hush don't say a word

[Verse 2: Josh Ramsay]
Hey, you say I'm only hearing what I want to
But you don't wanna hear a word if how I need you
And I know we both don't hear a thing
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know

So don't say I need to learn to listen to you better
You'll pull it away from me forever
I just can't get my head around it
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know

[Chorus: Emily Osment] & (Josh Ramsay)
Hush now baby don't say a word (Hush now baby don't say a word)
You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt (You better give it up or you're gonna get hurt)

Josh Ramsay & [Emily Osment]
You think I don't know
[That you don't mean it
That you don't mean it]
And you don't think it shows

And you think that I won't go
If you don't feel it
If you don't feel it
We fall in, fall out, follow
Hush, hush, hush don't say a word

Emily Osment & (Josh Ramsay) :
I know we can't make life make you again

@scarnosemedia

the fact that this song is still not on US spotify is a crime

@kenniwithani4634

THIS

@crazycrafting7464

LITERALLY

@jirayakiyonaga

Thank you.

@redraven24

I love this collab. Emily has that same loud, high huskiness to her voice that Josh has, so they complement each other very well in duet. Her voice isn't soft and sweet but rather gutsy and I think that's what makes her able to keep up with Josh without him over-powering the collab. Such a fun song!

@mr.kiskotagan4234

Josh... Such a GREAT singer. Adore his vocals so much. Even more incredible at a concert.

@skytime9444

We fall in, we fall out, we follow - such a josh kind of lyric, you know.

@TheCloe87488

Ugh Josh Ramsay's voice is so perfect and I now know it's def not auto tuned because I saw him in concert and it was AMAZING! His voice is heaven from the gods above <3

@nellym101
