Song lyrics
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

"Things get damaged,
Things get broken,
I thought we managed,
But words left unspoken.."

Great break-up song.

This song made me fall in love with Depeche Mode.
There are no words good enough to describe how tender and beautiful it is.

I'm so glad I get to listen to good songs like Precious. This generation is starting to suck with its hip hops and rap songs, I mean c'mon.

This is the only song I've ever heard by them but I freaking love it. I was really drunk one night and woke up with it written on my hand the next day. Lucky, I guess.

This is the kind of song that makes me go and buy the record no matter what the other songs sound like.
As you've said, it's GREAT that DM's back and as always, with a fresh, new, and innovative sound.
I love what the cd says on the back:
'Pain and suffering in various tempos'

I thought they wouldn't do anything as good as Enjoy The Silence. Glad to see they can still write great songs after more than 20 years.

Nice! Good to hear another great song from Depeche Mode. I love some of their old songs, but this one is just as great! They haven't lost the touch!
