When the World Ends (Babe, I Hope You Burn) Lyrics

On a day like this

When 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 lies

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

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

But 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
