Depeche Mode › Lyrics › Leave in Silence

I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop

Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations

If I only knew the answer
Or I thought we had a chance
Or I could stop this
I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer

What can I say?
I don't want to play, anymore
What can I say?
I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence

We've been runnin' around in circles all year
Doin' this and that and gettin' nowhere
This'll be the last time
I think I said that last time

If I only had a potion
Some magical lotion
I could stop this, I would stop this
I would set the wheels in motion

Can I say?
I don't want to play, anymore
Can I say?
I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
. . .
