[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

Allison Iraheta

After winning the Telemundo TV show Quinceañ Mamá Quiero Ser Artista and coming in fourth place in the eight season of the TV show American Idol in 2009, the California-born singer Allison Iraheta rose to fame and got a record deal with 19 Records and Jive Records to pursue her career as a singer.

Later that year, she made her debut with “Friday I’ll Be Over U” which became her breakthrough hit in the USA. She released a couple more singles that earned her more recognition like “Scars” and “Don’t Waste the Pretty” featuring Australian pop singer Orianthi. Eventually, in December of 2009 she released her debut album, Just Like You.

Iraheta went on a small hiatus until 2013 when she announced that she had formed a new band called Halo Circus, which she was the lead vocalist for. The band released two Bunny in 2016, and Robots and Wranglers in 2018. The band disbanded in 2019 due to Allison parting ways with bandmate and husband Matthew Hager both professionally and personally.
