Songwriter: Dave Gahan Kurt Uenala

[Verse 1]
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
Life goes by so fast
So who is left to play
Nothing's quite the same
We can't live in the past
I'm burning inside as the sun
And I only just begun
Love it fades so fast

[Chorus]
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I know I've had enough, maybe far too much
It's easy to be kind
And when it's just me and you
I know what I have to do
I know I can leave this world behind
No need to feel ashamed
When there's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
These lines are change so fast

[Chorus]
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
