Enjoy The Silence

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

Words like violence

Break the silence

Come crashing in

Into my little world

Painful to me

Pierce right through me

Can't you understand

Oh my little girl



All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm



Vows are spoken

To be broken

Feelings are intense

Words are trivial

Pleasures remain

So does the pain

Words are meaningless

And forgettable



All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm



All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm



Enjoy the silence
