Don't Speak

Don't Speak by No Doubt is featured in The Break-Up, the fourth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Blaine, Finn, Kurt, and Rachel.

After leaving Callbacks, Finn, Rachel, Kurt and Blaine stroll down a New York City street. A romantic moment for both couples, turns into drama when Finn senses that Rachel is hiding something from him. Kurt senses Blaine's emotional performance and soon revealed something too. Blaine and Rachel finally admit their wrongdoings to Finn and Kurt as soon as the song begins.

As the couples walk together through the New York City park, they stop at a fountain. Finn walks away from Rachel and Kurt and Blaine sing to each other, shortly after Kurt walks away. The scene cuts to Finn and Kurt and Rachel and Blaine back at their New York City apartment, singing in the bed. They then turn away from each other as the song comes to an end, turning off their lamps, leaving Blaine and Rachel feeling upset and guilty.

Lyrics[]

Finn:
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together
Always

Blaine:
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe this could be
The end

Kurt and Rachel:
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real, well, I don't want to know

Finn and Rachel:
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me, cause it hurts

Blaine and Kurt:
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me, cause it hurts

Finn and Kurt:
Our memories, well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether mighty frightening

Blaine and Rachel:
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands, I sit and cry

Blaine, Finn, Kurt, and Rachel (Blaine and Kurt):
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me, cause it hurts (No, no, no)

(Finn and Rachel: Don't speak)
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me, cause it hurts

Kurt and Rachel:
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are

Rachel:
You and me
I can see us dying
Are we?

Blaine, Finn, Kurt, and Rachel:
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me, cause it hurts

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

Kurt and Rachel:
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Blaine and Rachel:
Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, oh

Finn and Rachel:
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

Blaine, Finn, Kurt, and Rachel:
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Rachel (Blaine, Finn, and Kurt):
Don't, don't, oh, ooh
Hush, hush darlin' (La, la, la, la)
Hush, hush darlin' (La, la, la, la)
Oh

Rachel with Blaine, Finn, and Kurt:
Don't tell me, cause it hurts

Rachel (Blaine, Finn, and Kurt):
Hush, darlin' (La la la la la la)
Hush, darlin' (La la la la la la)

Rachel with Blaine, Finn, and Kurt:
Don't tell me, cause it hurts
Don't tell me, cause it hurts
