Ellie Goulding – Don’t Say a Word Lyrics

Don’t Say a Word Lyrics by Ellie Goulding

Ellie stated that

I wanted to start the record off with my voice, which is what I do. As a conversation running through that song, you can just about pick up on, between myself, and a dream about death and dreams, and what happens when you die and blah, blah, blah.

Her beginning vocals were sampled and looped in Drakes “Pound Cake”.

[Intro]
Oh, if you’d never said anything
If you’d never said anything
If you never, if you never
If you never, if you’d never said anything

[Refrain]
If you never, if you never
Oh
If you never, if you never
Oh
If you never, if you never
Oh
If you never, if you never

[Verse 1]
Here it is, in my hands
In my veins and over lands
It spreads like fire seeking air
To pulls me in my own funfair

[Pre-Chorus]
Won’t you come, won’t you come
Won’t you come just don’t say a word
Won’t you come, won’t you come
Won’t you come just don’t say a word

[Chorus]
If you never, if you never
(Just don’t say a word)
If you never, if you never
(Just don’t say a word)

[Verse 2]
I’m more alive, I’ve ever been
So now I give you all my sins
I’ve chosen you, I’ve chosen you
But don’t say a word

[Bridge]
And if I save us, and I fall down
I will leave your words behind now
If you never, held me under
If you never hear my thunder

[Refrain]
If you never, if you never
Oh
If you never, if you never
Oh
If you never, if you never
Oh
If you never, if you never

[Outro]
Just don’t say a word
