It Doesn't Matter

written by Alan Wilder & Martin Gore

I am happy that I have you,
Even though you're not here now,
I know somewhere you are dreaming,
Though it's definately not of me.

It doesn't matter if this all shatters,
Nothing lasts forever,
But I'm praying that we're staying together.

I am owned by your friendship,
Even when you're faraway,
And I'm happy in the knowledge,
We may never see the day.

When I kiss you and you kiss me,
Don't pretend you miss me,
The worst kind of diseased mind,
Is one filled with jealousy.

If we should meet again,
Don't try to solve the puzzle,
Just lay down next to me,
And please don't move a muscle.

I will thank you most of all for,
The respect you left for me,
But I'm embarrassed,
It overwhelmes me,
Because I don't deserve any.

It doesn't matter if this all shatters,
Nothing lasts forever,
But I'm praying that we're staying together.
