Don't Speak
Sarah Menescal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 just what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
And 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
Don't speak
I know just what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are, 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
Don't speak
I know just what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
Sarah Menescal's cover of "Don't Speak" features lyrics that are about a relationship falling apart. The first verse describes two people who used to be inseparable and everyday would be spent together. The singer feels as if she is losing her best friend and cannot believe that it could be the end of their relationship. The second verse describes the memories that the two share, which can be both inviting and frightening. The chorus acts as a plea to the other person to stop explaining why the relationship is ending because it hurts too much to hear. The song ends with the singer realizing that they cannot continue pretending to be something they're not and questioning whether the relationship is really as good as it seems.
The "Don't Speak" song by No Doubt was written by the band's lead vocalist Gwen Stefani, who wrote it about her ex-boyfriend and the band's bass player, Tony Kanal. When it was first released as a single in 1996, it quickly topped the charts and became a worldwide hit. Since then, the song has been covered by numerous artists, including Sarah Menescal.

You and me
We were a couple
We used to be together
We were always together
Everyday together always
Our time together was every day
I really feel
I have a strong belief
That I'm losing my best friend
I think I'm losing the person I trust the most
I can't believe
I am shocked
This could be the end
Our relationship may be over
It looks as though you're letting go
You seem to be ending the relationship
And if it's real
If the relationship is really over
Well I don't want to know
I don't want to hear more about it
Don't speak
Please don't say anything else
I know just what you're saying
I understand what you mean
So please stop explaining
Please don't keep giving me explanations
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I don't want to hear it because it pains me
I know just what you're thinking
I understand the thoughts going through your mind
And I don't need your reasons
I don't need your justifications
Our memories
Our past experiences
They can be inviting
They can be pleasant
But some are altogether
But some of them are
Mighty frightening
Extremely scary
And as we die, both you and I
As our relationship ends
With my head in my hands
I feel upset
I sit and cry
I cry
It's all ending
Our relationship is coming to an end
I gotta stop pretending who we are, who we are
I need to accept that we are no longer together and move on
