where does love go when it dies lyrics

Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God?
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost?
And could you ever take a life when all was lost?
Would it ever be enough?

Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more?
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds, spit it on the floor?
Could you open up your heart and then close the door?
Would it ever be enough?

Every word you whisper
All the tears you hide
You die for love when it's alive
But where does love go when it dies?

If you came across your dream would you walk on by?
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die
And is there room inside your mind for one more try?
Would it ever be enough?

I watch the time go rushing by it's like an ocean wave
Showing you no mercy throwing dirt upon your grave
You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light
And there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now

If you woke up from your sleep, blood on your hands
Would you wash the pain away? No one understands
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again
Would it ever be enough?

Every word you whisper
All the tears you hide
You die for love when it's alive
But where does love go when it dies?
