Verse 1

Do you still sing along to Marco's songs?

Till the neighbor complains

Do you still drive that old Volvo?

I wanna know how you're

Doing and if you ever still think of me

I miss you, where's your voice?

Chorus 1

Now we don't talk anymore, now I don't hear you

I can't think, I can't sleep

Now we don't talk and you're not here

I miss the fights I used to hate

I know it's too late to say that it hurts

But now I see what I miss

Now we don't talk anymore

Verse 2

I'm walking here alone now, along squares and canals

Hoping you're standing there

Did I leave too soon, should I have waited

I wanna know how you're

Doing and if you ever still thought of me

I miss you, where's your laugh?

Chorus 2

Now we don't talk anymore, now I don't hear you

I can't think, I can't sleep

Now we don't talk and you're not here

I miss the fights I used to hate

I know it's too late to say that it hurts

But now I see what I miss

Now we don't talk anymore

Bridge

Everything I hear is you

Now we don't talk anymore

Everything I see is you

Now we don't talk anymore

And everything I want is you

Now we don't talk anymore

If only I had you here with me

Outro

Now we don't talk anymore, now I don't hear you

I can't think, I can't sleep

Now we don't talk anymore

SONG MEANING

Ever noticed how the smallest daily habits become deafening when someone is gone? In Nu Wij Niet Meer Praten the Dutch singer Jaap Reesema, joined by Belgian rising star Pommelien Thijs, paints a vivid postcard of post-breakup quiet. The narrator wanders past canals, wonders if the ex still belts out Marco Borsato hits or drives that trusty old Volvo, and realises that even the arguments he once despised have turned into something he longs for. Every street, every sound, every memory suddenly echoes only one name.

The song is a bittersweet confession of regret and nostalgia. Communication has stopped, and with that silence comes insomnia, overthinking, and the aching wish to rewind time. By zooming in on homely Dutch details and everyday routines, Reesema and Thijs show that love is not just grand gestures but also off-key sing-alongs and ordinary car rides. When those moments vanish, the quiet feels louder than any fight ever did, leaving one truth ringing clear: sometimes you only see what you had once it is impossible to talk about it.
