Notes
Dave Gahan told Q magazine in March 2013:
"[Getting cancer] certainly did affect what I wrote. When that phrase came out, "I can feel the presence of God" [from 'Presence Of God'] I'm thinking, I can't sing that! And 'Secret To The End' for Delta Machine, every verse ending with, "Is this the end? Should this be the end?" It was seeing myself for the first time. The wondering "Why, why, why? What's it all about?" I'm going to do something useful with it, try to be the best father and husband I can be... and the best musician. I wrote myself back into life."
In March 2023, most of the demos for Delta Machine were leaked, including two versions of Secret To The End. The first demo contains lyrics that were slightly different from the final version, most notably the the absence of the refrain where Dave and Martin sing "The problem // Should have been you (should have been you)..."
Lyrics
Secret To The End
Oh when I look at you
I'm probably the same way too
I got a feeling that it's coming soon
Could this be the end
When I look around this room
There must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn't true
We've come to the end
Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh the book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (should have been you)
Should have been you (could have been you)
Should have been you (would have been you)
(Should have been you, would have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, could have been you)
Should have been you (should have been you)
Should have been you (would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me
It seems so obvious to you
You're feeling what I am feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We've come to the end
Thank God I'm not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
It's who I am, it's not like you
We've come to the end
Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
The book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (should have been you)
Should have been you (could have been you)
Should have been you (would have been you)
(Should have been you, could have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, could have been you)
Should have been you (should have been you)
Should have been you (would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me

Lyrics of the demo version (differences highlighted in bold):
Oh when I look at you
I'm probably the same way too
I've got a feeling that it's coming soon
Could this be the end
When I look around this room
There must be something I can do
I can't convince you that it isn't true
We've come to the end
Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh the book of love was not enough
To see us through
You must have a secret
Is there a secret
The secret for love
It seems so obvious to you
You're feeling what I am feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We've come to the end
I know I'm not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
[...] who I am is not for you
So we come to the end
Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe in you
The book of love was not enough
To see us through
You must have the secret
Is there a secret
A secret for love
Secret
Secret

Oh...
Secret

Oh...

Oh...
Oh...
Secret
You must have the secret
Is there a secret
Oh...
