Alone

Depeche Mode · Delta Machine [2013]

I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son, and your holy ghost and priest



Through your failures and success

Through your losses and gains

I didn't see much happiness or pain



I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't fill that hole

Alone



I saw you at your best

I knew you at your worst

I couldnt tell if you were blessed or cursed



There's a thin grey line

Between the black and white

It's evidently hard to find at night



I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't play that role

Alone



Now it's too, too late for words

that should have been said long ago



I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son, and your holy ghost and priest



I couldn't save your soul

I couldn't even take you home

I couldn't fill that hole

Alone
