lyrics

All alone in her room
There's just one candle lit against
The darkness and the gloom

And you know how she feels
'cause you've been there yourself
Along with everybody else

Life goes on she turns the page
But I don't think it's over yet
She cannot forget

Love when it ends
Taken before it can begin
Love when it dies
It's something that I see in your eyes

Down from her shelf
She takes her favorite book and then
Bleeding from the heart

She sings out a song
That rips into her flesh
And cuts her deep down to the bone

They say time heals all wounds
But not this pain and not this scar
Nothing goes that far

Love when it ends
Taken before it can begin
Love when it dies
It's something that I see in your eyes

Now she stares into her glass
Hours go by before she finds
Nothing is there

Just a ghost from the past
It haunts her every move
It's like a shadow of death

And these two hearts locked in love
The bitter taste of bitterness
When facing the gun

Love when it ends
Taken before it can begin
Love when it dies
It's something that I see in your eyes

Alone in her room
She turns toward the emptiness
To where love has moved

And like a sword in gods hand
It cuts you down and leaves you cold
No matter where you stand

And so I'm told of a girl
The lights go out the camera dims
The passion begins

Love when it ends
Taken before it can begin
Love when it dies
It's something that I see in your eyes

It's something that I see in your eyes
