Suffer Well

Depeche Mode · The Best Of Depeche Mode, Vol. 1 [2009]

Where were you when I fell from grace?

Frozen heart, an empty space

Something's changing, it's in your eyes

Please don't speak, you'll only lie

I found treasure not where I thought

Peace of mind can't be bought

Still I believe

I just hang on

Suffer well

Sometimes it's hard

It's hard to tell

An angel led me when I was blind

I said take me back, I've changed my mind

Now I believe

From the blackest room, I was torn

He called my name, a love was born

So I believe

I just hang on

Suffer well

Sometimes it's hard

It's hard to tell

I just hang on

Suffer well

Sometimes it's hard

So hard to tell

Suffer Well
