"When You Love Someone"

No one could have seen it coming
That you'd go running off, my dear
And no one could quite understand
Why I still act like you haven't disappeared

But when you love someone
It doesn't go away
The feelings leave, but the heart still stays
When you love someone
They never go away
No they never go away

There's still a mountain here to climb
I know in time I'll see the end
The meadow on the other side
But until then I pretend

Cause it's a bitter pill that's sticking still
A grave you thought you'd never fill
Each word comes like a final will
These days

But when you love someone
It doesn't go away
The feelings leave, but the heart still stays
When you love someone
They never go away
No they never go away

I'm holding to the thought that you're still right here with me
That a part of you is lingering, that you never really leave
The day's too hard to handle, so I'll retreat into my dreams
Where you are
Where you're still a reality

Cause when you love someone
You only see their face
As a golden light
All the imperfections fade
When you love someone
When you love someone
Love is all that remains
