"Where Love Goes When It Dies"

She only wanted the love that she never had
Just a few of the good times to go with the bad
While her hungry eyes begged, I just didn't see
I was killing the feeling that she had for me.

When she reached out for me I never was there
And I guess she grew tired of thinking I didn't care
Now she goes through the motions but she ain't really alive
And I wonder, oh how I wonder where love goes when it dies.

Now it's gone, that feeling's gone and she can't get it back
She can't love me no matter how hard she tries
With each passing day her love faded away
And I wonder, oh how I wonder where love goes when it dies.

Now she goes through the motions but she ain't really alive
And I wonder, oh how I wonder where love goes when it dies...
