You and me
We used to be together
Every day 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
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
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…
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know just 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
Lalalala, lalalala,
Don’t, don’t, Ooh ooh

Hush, hush darling
Hush, hush darling
Hush, hush
Don’t tell me ‘cause it hurts
Hush, hush darling
Hush, hush darling
Hush, hush
Don’t tell me ‘cause it hurts
