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
