In Sympathy — Depeche Mode

They're almost falling over you Why don't they call a truce Whatever they are trying to do Its 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 Their tedious obscenities Your patience never ends

And as the night begins to fade You're heading for the door Followed by a sad parade You're on your own once more

You're bright, you're strong, You know the right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough, You've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy
