"The Things You Said" is a song from the 1987 album Music For The Masses by Depeche Mode.
Notes
When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the '101' CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine 'Best', Martin Gore said (translated from French):
"'The Things You Said' is that which 'Somebody' isn't, and that's why I love this song. It has a nice side and a bad side. It's about treason, about a man who is disappointed by someone he loved, but luckily, he has real friends by his side. This is one of the songs I have perform right at the front of the stage. I like having a slot of one or two tracks, but I could not go on for any longer, it's way too stressful."
Lyrics
The Things You Said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
They know my weaknesses (I never tried to hide them)
They know my weaknesses (I never denied them)
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
They know my weaknesses (I never tried to hide them)
They know my weaknesses (You tried them)
I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
They know my weaknesses (I never tried to hide them)
They know my weaknesses (Thought that you liked them)
They know me better than that
