Lyrics The World We Know - 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
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
