I can see it all in an eye blink
I know everything about how you are
I can understand exactly how you think
Between you and me it's not very far

Side, beside, you and I
With many, many years behind us
Even words pass us by
Because we, we are always together
And we, we will be forever
Such a special treasure
You and I

Don't speak
I know just what you?re saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard

Nononono

Don't speak
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard


Gwen: It went like that. "One important thing about
that is that was pre break up, ok, so that was all
about I know you're so good. We're going to be
together forever, everything is wonderful". And then
we start working on the song, so Eric and I went the
garage stubbornly, you know, very irritated about the
situation and we set down the piano and we rewrote the
verses, and Tony broke up with me
and I rewrote the lyrics.
Those are the lyrics that you know:

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday 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
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

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
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, 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 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 la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts?

Gwen: Thank You! I just want to say one more thing about it.
The thing about this song was so crazy is
that it took us around the world, you know,
it transcended all these language and cultural barriers
and we could be playing in Spain for non English
speaking audience and they just have tears running
down their faces, and they totally got the song. And
is just, again, you know that is very comfortable for
me, because that means that everyone gets a heart
broken, everybody goes through this stuff.
Ah? what's the next song, this is really confusing,
this isn't what we talked about, what's the next song?
