The World Of Broken Hearts

Lyrics

Every night you'll find me in the only world I own

It's a crowded place that's filled with people all alone

It's a place that I could write a book about

When they let you in you'll find there's no way out

There you don't get in 'cause there's no way out

There's just no way out

No way out

When you're in a world of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

Of broken hearts

Of broken hearts

Those who enter here are told to leave their dreams behind

You may never get to sleep again but you don't mind

It's a place that I could write a book about

When they let you in you'll find there's no way out

There you don't get in 'cause there's no way out

There's just no way out

No way out

When you're in a world of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

Of broken hearts

Of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

Of broken hearts

Of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts

In a world of broken hearts
