When the world ends
Five times augustWhen I see your face everywhere
I know you’re not coming back
On the corner streets
As the cars go by
I think back to when I thought it’d last
Now oh, memories, well they still make my heart hurt
When the world ends, babe, I hope you burn
In the afternoon, on any afternoon
You’d call me up and send your love
Now the telephone, I just shut it off
And all that rings is my head
‘Cause you’ve got it all
And oh, what a fool, ‘cause I still have yet to learn
So when the world ends, babe, I hope you burn
You promised, you bitch, that you’d tell me no lie
Then I found out, you bitch, there was some other guy
Now you left me to wish that he might to the same
Until then I’ll sit in your pleasure and pain
If you told me the truth I might still be the same
If you told me the truth I might never ‘ve changed
Now I can’t let it go, and it’s caused me to bend
So I want you to know what I hope when the world ends
So on a day like this
When I see your face everywhere
Well, I know that you’re out there somewhere
And you’re holding hands that aren’t mine
But I’m fine, ‘cause I know
That your end is near
And oh, what a loss, I can feel my insides churn
So when the world ends babe
When the world ends baby
When the world ends babe, I hope you burn
