The World We Know - The Smithereens

When the fire burns out

All that’s left is ashes

Of a broken heart

There’s no use my friend

And all your talk, talk, talking

When you’re worlds apart

When the fire burns out

All that’s left is ashes

Of a broken heart

And you’re left to think

About the lies she told you

When you broke apart

Broken heart

Time to go Torn apart

World we know

She untied your hands

Used to come up empty

In the world we know

When your time is up Try to run and hide

But there’s no place to go When the fire burns out

All that’s left is ashes

Of a broken heart

When you pack your bags

But there’s nowhere to go to

Learn to play the part

Broken heart

Time to go Torn apart

World we know

World that we know

What went so wrong

World that we know

Didn’t last long

I told you when the fire burns out

All that’s left is ashes

Of a broken heart

There’s no use my friend

And all your talk, talk, talking

When you’re worlds apart

When the fire burns out

All that’s left is ashes

Of a broken heart

And you’re left to think

About the lies she told you

When you broke apart

Broken heart

Time to go Torn apart

World we know
