When you lose someone you love your heart will bleed,
Fear and desire, and the love flame, grows bright,
And the grip keeps getting tighter until you find it hard to breathe,
When you lose someone,
Yeah, when you lose someone,
When you lose someone you love.
It’s a telltale sign that gives away the promise of shattered dreams,
And one look behind their eyes will tell you things ain’t what they seem,
Your sins will be forgiven,
Yeah, and you claim to know the way,
But when you board that train to Heaven, girl, you know somebody pays.
When the boys who own the bottom line come up to collect you will drop down to your knees,
But, brother, what did you expect?
When you lose someone you love your heart will bleed,
Fear and desire, and the love flame, grows brighter,
And the grip keeps getting tighter ‘til your anger starts to seethe,
When you lose someone,
When you lose someone,
When you lose someone you love.
Long after midnight, when the wolf hour finally comes,
You’ll be laying in your bed,
There’ll be nowhere you can run,
And you swear you heard a voice in the dark call out your name,
And you will reach into the night to find that nothing here has changed,
Some love don’t fade away.
When you lose someone you love your heart will bleed,
Fear and desire, and the love flame, grows brighter,
And the grip keeps getting tighter,
You’re gonna hang on to what you believe,
When you lose someone,
Yeah, you’re gonna lose someone, baby,
When you lose someone you love,
Oh, when you lose someone,
Yeah, when you lose someone,
When you lose someone you love.
