Don't Say You Love Me

You'll be the killer I'll be the corpse You'll be the thriller And I'll be the drama, of course If you play the sinner I'll play the stain If you play the winner I'll be your permanent pain I'll be the boredom You, the desire I'll be the catcalls And you'll be the sound of the choir You, anesthetic I'll be the scream You'll be the promise And I'll be the end of your dreams So don't say you love me 'Cause you'll never love me You'll be the flowers That some lover sent I'll be the goodbye note That is hiding in them You are the singer I am the song The tune that will linger The bitter taste left on your tongue So don't say you love me How could you love me? Your flowers and your make-believe The secrets and the notes you keep The promises left on the sheets You'll never love me Fool your friends, believe your lies Make amends and alibis In the end you can't disguise That you'll never love me You'll be the killer I'll be the corpse You'll be the laughter And I'll be the punchline, of course --- Don't Say You Love Me - Depeche Mode
