Depeche Mode - Breathe Lyrics






I heard a rumour
They travel far
You know what it's like
The way people are
They talk and they talk
Though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not so

I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on my chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love

I heard it from Peter
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone
I don't know at all
I heard it from Mary
Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She's telling the truth
I heard it from Simon
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to blame
I heard it from Joseph
Who heard it from John
Who said with conviction
That all hope was gone
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye

    Martin is a genius

  33. C.... ....

    Perhaps the best Martin song ever. His voice always tears me apart in this. Beautiful Vocal & guitar outro that could go on forever....
    Something you could play at a camp fire.

    C.... ....

    Cl4rendon my favorite martin song will always be Damaged People

    Compulsion is his best solo work

    "I want to know

  39. a.... ....

    damn, the ending really plucks at the heart strings!

  40. I.... G....

    well it most definitely tosses Stevie And company out the freaking dirty window...

  41. A.... ....

    I heard it from Judas that he swore on the bubble. Your own personal Judas, someone who laughs at your prayers, someone who dares. This song is great!

  42. B.... G....

    on the bible*

  43. B.... G....

    XD In the bible!

  44. A.... ....

    "Who swore on the bubble"

  49. E.... A....

    I need to hear that you love me
    Before you say goodbye ...

  50. k.... ....

    yes i do remember that dave wanted to show his writing skills and have those songs in their cds also, u r right...

  51. Y.... L....

    i meant the songs that martin sings are more meaningful to me...otherwise yeah martin wrote all the songs but since PTA Dave also writes some songs he threatened not to start work on the album unless some of his songs got on...look it up im not bullshitting you

  52. k.... ....

    All of the songs are written by Martin...I MEAN all of em, dave just sings them, but i think for martin, out of all of the songs he writes for A cd they make, he sing the most emotional, or special one himself...if u guys have noticed.., in each cd they make martin gets to sing one song, the rest dave sings...and i love as u said when martin sings, its just 100 percent...pure

  53. K.... J....

    It had been gold before SOFAD, and then it shrinked. To diamonds.

  54. R.... ....

    DM is not for everyone ... simple as that!

  55. V.... G....

    but why to hide it? be proud that you know what good music is!

  56. v.... ....

    Martin Gore Is The Man. Damn his writing skills are 2nd to NONE. Amazing, Amazing Lyrics. Love You Martin.

  57. J.... T....

    I can feel this song and it hurts, hurts a lot, It feels like a huge building falling all over me, unable to die, smashed, breathing slowly but not dying, living while I am already dead. I know, it sounds totally incoherent and crazy. I dunno, it is just my stupid opinion

  58. Y.... L....

    funny how i started listening to DM mostly for Dave songs but now Martins songs are more meaningful to me

    Y.... L....

    Yu Lee Ahn - SAME!! I was just telling my boyfriend that the other day. Still love me some Dave though ❤️

  59. D.... D....

    Great love song !!!

  60. L.... ....

    @xHouseLoverx HOW CAN PEOPLE HATE DM ?!?!?!?!?!? xD

  61. v.... ....

    Go Martin Go

  62. T.... U....

    I never much cared for the Exciter album, but "Breathe" is an unbelievably good song.

  63. G.... ....

    Martin Gore has the beautiful voice in the world.

  64. R.... W....

    Cudowna,nastrojowa muzyka...

  65. p.... ....

    Grande Martin, grandi i Depeche.........

  66. T.... J....

    It's a particular strengh from a band if it has two singers too who are equally talented and can play many instruments beside it.
    Depeche Mode is able to this and this fact explains everything.

  67. t.... ....

    Martin's got such a sweet voice. He's always had that seductive croon within the band.

  68. M.... H....

    Just like on the S.O.F.A.D album, Martin sings too much.. Gahans voice is better, and i'd like his interpretation on this song!!
    Martin is a great great songwriter and backingvocal. Stick to that.

  69. M.... C....

    I used to get stoned and listen to this song.

  70. U.... H....

    I need to hear that you love me
    Before you say goodbye
    Before you say goodbye
    Before you say goodbye
    Before you say goodbye

    U.... H....

    For you say goodbye

  71. U.... H....

    I need to hear that you love me
    Before you say goodbye

  72. b.... ....

    Martin has very good voice!

  73. C.... ....

    i'm 20 and i'd never hide it, i'm trying to convert them all!

  74. m.... ....

    Martin's genius!!

  75. m.... ....

    una de las mejore melodias que he escuchado!!!! excellent Martin Gore, and georgeous lyrics!!!, graciasssssss

  76. i.... ....

    "i have it to hear that you love me
    before you say goodbye"

  77. d.... ....

    Very true words. Nothing but life and people spreading rumours and other shit. DM definetly know how to show it all. Regards to all DM fans !

  78. j.... ....

    sounds like Marc Almond singing.

  79. y.... ....

  95. E.... N....

    Mr. Martin voice is very pleasant...

  96. D.... ....

    спасибо за песню
    очень красивая музыка и великолепный вокал)

  97. J.... A....

    "Exciter" es el álbum de Depeche más difícil de escuchar, aunque dicen que ésta es la canción más intrascendente del álbum para mí es la mejor del "Exciter"

    J.... A....

    Ya sabes, la opinión es como el culo.

  98. 6.... -....

    needelest to say Martin L Gore is a fuckin genious!

  99. c.... ....

    estilo unico gran interpretacion .
