Depeche Mode - Alone lyrics

I was there when you needed me most I was there when you wanted me least I was your father, your son, And your holy ghost and priest Through your failures and success Through your losses and gains I didn't see much happiness or pain I couldn't save your soul I couldn't even take you home I couldn't fill that hole Alone I saw you at your best I knew you at your worst I couldn't tell if you were blessed or cursed There's a thin grey line Between the black and white It's evidently hard to find at night I couldn't save your soul I couldn't even take you home I couldn't play that role Alone Now it's too, too late for words That should have been said Long ago I was there when you needed me most I was there when you wanted me least I was your father, your son, And your holy ghost and priest I couldn't save your soul I couldn't even take you home I couldn't fill that hole Alone
