When Love Dies (for Ashley, v2)

[Verse 1] [soft female vocals] A gentle rain falls outside— Its soft tapping lulls me into a reverie. I stare at the old photo of the girl And wonder what happy memory She could have been treasuring. [Pre-Chorus] But no one knew then That those deep eyes Would soon see deeper things, Darker times; And her smile would soon fade, Fade away like the blue sky before the rain. [Chorus] This is what happens when love turns. This is what happens when love lies. This is what happens when love hurts. This is what happens when love dies. [Verse 2] In this world there are some lights That are forced to dim, Beautiful souls that are diminished By another's whims. [Bridge] And I want to tell the girl in the photo That I'm sorry life turned on her. I wish I had told her that not all punches Needed to be weathered. I wish I had told her not to go with him But to stay right here at home. [Chorus] This is what happens when love turns. This is what happens when love lies. This is what happens when love hurts. This is what happens when love dies. [Refrain—piano fades out] This is what happens when love dies... When love~~~~~ dies~~~~ [Outro] [spoken in a whisper and a question] It wasn't "love" at all, was it?
