It Doesn't Matter II

written by Martin Gore

As I lay here with you,
Shame rides with us,
We talk of love and trust,
It doesn't matter.

Well we may be the last in the world,
We feel like Pioneers,
Telling hopes and fears to one another.

And what a feeling inside of me,
It might last for an hour,
Wounds are healing inside of me,
Though it feels good now,
I know it's only for now.

The feeling is intense,
You gripped me with your eyes,
And then I realize it doesn't matter.

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.
