Hush
Never Enough Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You move on like the falling star that you are in my sky
Our hello was our first kiss goodbye, tell me why

If I could sleep until the morning comes
I'd no longer be morning this love
Wishing you were here with me again
Wishing you were here until the end
HUSH THOSE LIPS, FORGIVE ME
CAUSE I CAN'T BREATHE WITHOUT YOU




HUSH THOSE LIPS, AND SAVE ME
CAUSE I CAN'T BREATHE WITHOUT YOU

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Never Enough's song Hush speak of a person who has lost someone that they were deeply in love with. The opening line of the song describes the person as a falling star in their sky. This person's light shone brightly in their life, but now that they have gone, the singer is left in darkness. The line "Our hello was our first kiss goodbye" suggests that the relationship was fleeting, almost as if it had barely begun before it was over. The singer is haunted by this and longs to be with their former lover again. They wish they could sleep until the morning, hoping that when they wake up, their heartache will be gone.


The chorus of the song repeatedly begs for the person to hush their lips, forgive the singer, and save them because they can't breathe without them. This line is powerful, conveying how much the singer's life has been turned upside down by the loss of their love. The use of the word "hush" suggests that this person may be speaking ill of the singer, and they are begging them to be kind and not make things worse. Overall, the song speaks to the pain of losing someone you deeply love and how much it can impact your life.
