Breakup Song Lyrics: Don’t Speak!

by Sarah Creagh Horth on September 10, 2009

I was looking through lyrics.com for songs about breakups.  One breakup tip I recommend is to make your own DJ Downer Playlist when you have broken up, include songs that make you angry, sad or help you to pour out your frustration.  One of the ways we get over a relationship is to see other people’s interpretation of their breakups in their art – writing, songs, poetry, paintings.  It is a way we connect with a common human condition.

No Doubt’s song ‘Don’t Speak’, from their album Tragic Kingdom, definitely is one of the songs to include – it is about that breakup conversation, when you really want him to stop speaking, you don’t want to hear him breaking up with you:

It looks as though you are letting go,

And if it’s real,

Then I don’t want to know.

Don’t speak,

I know just what you’re say,

So please just stop explaining,

Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts

The full lyrics to Don’t Speak are here and you might also be interested in the sad breakup quotes that I post on a Friday.
