Don’t Speak Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought I was cool
But I just looked a fool for so long
Now, you're gone, now, you're gone, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me, yeah

[Verse 2]
I recall all the fights
Most of all, all the times
You would lie in my arms
Now, you're gone, you're gone, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't speak to me
Don't be my aim

[Chorus]
There's a lot that you don't notice
When you read between the lines
The future's out of focus
When you're blinded by the light

[Chorus 2]
It's the hope for all the hopeless
In the worst of trying times
I resort to being speechless
'Cause our love won't survive
[Bridge]
Yeah, our love won't survive
Don't speak a word

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't speak to me
Don't speak to me, yeah

[Chorus]
There's a lot that you don't notice
When you read between the lines
The future's out of focus
When you're blinded by the light

[Chorus 2]
It's the hope for all the hopeless
In the worst of trying times
I resort to being speechless
'Cause our love won't survive

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
