When the World Comes Apart - Gary Numan

I’m not a hero’s story

I’m not a traitor’s lie

I’m not everything they said

I’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 days

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?

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 our pain away

And do you understand

That everything is shattered

And so the whole world ends today

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?

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?

When my light burns out

And when my fire is cold

And when my breath is the wind

I will find you, dear God
