Gwen Stefani
Don’t Speak (American Idol Studio Version)
[Verse 1]
You and me, we used to be together
Everyday together, always
I really feel that I'm losin' 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

[Chorus]
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

[Verse 2]
Our memories, well, 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

[Chorus]
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
[Bridge]
It's all ending
We gotta stop pretending who we are

[Verse 3]
You and me
I can see us dyin', are we?

[Chorus]
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
No, no, don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

[Outro]
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, no
I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good, I know you're good
I know you're real good, oh
Don't speak
