Lyrics:

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, no, no, no

Don't speak
I know 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

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
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

I know 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
La da da da, la da da da da
Don't, don't

Oh, oh
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
