When the World Comes Apart

Gary Numan

4

I′m not a hero's story

I′m not the traitor's lie

I'm not every thing they saidI′m not here to save you

I′m not your confessor

My sins alone could wake the dead

But do you understand?

Nothing can make it better

Nothing can make it go away

And do you understand

That we are lost to ruin

And this will be our end of day-ay-ays?

And when the sun fell down

And when the moon failed to rise

And when the world came apart

Where were you? Were you with me?

And when my light burns out

And when my fire is cold

And when my breath is the wind

Where will you be, dear God?

I have no forgiveness

I have a heart of stone

I am a lesson born of greed

I am torn and twisted

I am a broken bone

I am what you've made of me

But do you understand

That none of this will matter?

Nothing can take your pain away

And do you understand

That everything is shattered

And so the whole world ends today-ay-ay?

And when the sun fell down

And when the moon failed to rise

And when the world came apart

Where were you? Were you with me?

And when my light burns out

And when my fire is cold

And when my breath is the wind

Where will you be, dear God?

And when the sun fell down

And when the moon failed to rise

And when the world came apart

Where were you? Were you with me?

And when my light burns out

And when my fire is cold

And when my breath is the wind

I will find you, dear God
