Breathe - Depeche Mode

I heard a rumour, they travel far

You know what it’s like, the way people are

They talk and they talk, though they don’t understand

They’ll whisper and whisper and lie on demand

Please tell me now, I want to know

I have to hear it from your lips

Say it’s not so

I heard it on Monday and I laughed a while

I heard it on Tuesday, I managed to smile

I heard it on Wednesday, my patience was tried

I heard it on Thursday and I hurt inside

And I want to know the depths of your mind

Tell me this whole thing is madness

And we’re doing fine

Put your little hand in mine

And believe in love

Put your head on my chest

And breathe love, breathe love

Breathe love, breathe love

I heard it from Peter who heard it from Paul

Who heard it from someone I don’t know at all

I heard it from Mary who heard it from Ruth

Who swore on the Bible she’s telling the truth

I heard it from Simon who heard it from James

Confirming with Sarah that I was to blame

I heard it from Joseph who heard it from John

Who said with conviction that all hope was gone

So I need to know your alibis

I need to hear that you love me

Before you say goodbye

Before you say goodbye

Before you say goodbye

Before you say goodbye
