Lyrics
Verse 1
We used to be so close, every day side by side
Now I feel a distance I just can’t hide
Feels like I’m losing the one I leaned on most
The laughter, the talks, everything I miss the most
Pre-Chorus
I see it in your eyes, I hear it in your sighs
You don’t have to say a word, I already know
And maybe it’s better if we don’t try
Some things we can’t fix, some things we can’t show
Chorus
So don’t speak, I don’t need to hear it
Just hold your silence, don’t explain it
Don’t tell me, because it hurts too much
Don’t speak, I already feel it
No reasons needed, no more secrets
Don’t tell me, just don’t, it hurts too much
Verse 2
Memories linger like shadows in my mind
Some are sweet, and some are unkind
I sit with my hands covering my face
Trying to remember our good, not the empty space
Pre-Chorus
I see it in your eyes, I hear it in your sighs
You don’t have to say a word, I already know
And maybe it’s better if we don’t try
Some things we can’t fix, some things we can’t show
Chorus
So don’t speak, I don’t need to hear it
Just hold your silence, don’t explain it
Don’t tell me, because it hurts too much
Don’t speak, I already feel it
No reasons needed, no more secrets
Don’t tell me, just don’t, it hurts too much
Bridge
It’s ending, I can feel it now
No more pretending, no more how
We let it slip, we let it fall
But I’ll remember us, through it all
Final Chorus
Don’t speak, I don’t need to hear it
Just hold your silence, don’t explain it
Don’t tell me, because it hurts too much
Don’t speak, I already feel it
No reasons needed, no more secrets
Don’t tell me, just don’t, it hurts too much
Outro
La… la… la…
Hush now, darling, it’s okay
No words are needed, just stay
