Lyrics The Smithereens – The World We Know

When the fire burns out
All that’s left is ashes of a broken heart
There’s no use my friend
In 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 left me thinking
At last she told you when you broke apart

Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know
Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know

She unties your hand, 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 bag
And there’s nowhere to go to, learn to play the part

Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know
Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know

World that we know
(World that we know)
What went so wrong?
(It went all wrong)

World that we know
(World that we know)

I told you, when the fire burns out
All that’s left is ashes of a broken heart
There’s no use my friend
In 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 left me thinking
At last she told you when you broke apart

Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know
Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know

Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know
Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know

Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know
Broken heart, time to go, torn apart
World we know
