In Sympathy

They're almost falling over you Why don't they call a truce? Whatever they are trying to do It's of little use They're drowning you in compliments Trying to furnish proof And though they speak with eloquence There is little truth You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy I'm watching your serenity The way your soul transcends The tedious absurdities Your patience never ends And as the night begins to fade You're heading for the door And followed by a sad parade Your on your own once more You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy You're bright, you're strong, you know your right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy --- In Sympathy - Depeche Mode
