[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure

Nothing's going to save us from the big drop

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore, 'Andy Fletcher', "Alan Wilder", *Dave Gahan*, **all**]

*I can't stand this emotional violence*
**Leave in silence**
**Leave in silеnce**
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan (Martin L. Gore)]
If I only had a potion

*What can I say? I'm heading for the door*
*I can't stand this emotional violence*
**Leave in silence**
**Leave in silence** *Yeah*

[Outro: Martin L. Gore, "Dave Gahan"]
Leave in silence "Yeah!"
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
