It Doesn't Matter Two
Depeche Mode · Black Celebration
The shame lies with us
We talk of love and trust
That doesn't matter
Though we may be the last in the world
We feel like pioneers
Telling hopes and fears
To one another
And oh, what a beautiful feeling
Inside of me
It might last for an hour
Wounds aren't healing
Inside of me
Though it feel good now
I know it's only for now
The feeling is intense
You grip me with your eyes
And then I realise
It doesn't matter
