only when i lose myself › depeche mode › the singles 86-98 › 1998

it's only when i lose myself in someone else
that i find myself
i find myself

something beautiful is happening inside for me
something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery
i feel hypnotised
i feel paralysed
i have found heaven

there's a thousand reasons
why i shouldn't spend my time with you
for every reason not to be here
i can think of two
to keep me hanging on
feeling nothing's wrong
inside your heaven

it's only when i lose myself in someone else
that i find myself
i find myself

i can feel the emptiness inside me
fade and disappear
there's a feeling of contentment
now that you are here
i feel satisfied
i belong inside
your velvet heaven

did i need to sell my soul for pleasure like this
did i have to lose control to treasure your kiss
did i need to place my heart in the palm of your hand
before i could even start to understand

it's only when i lose myself in someone else
that i find myself
i find myself
