Def Leppard - Where Does Love Go When It Dies Lyrics






Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost
Could you ever take a life when all was lost
And would it ever be enough

Could you bite the hand that feeds you and then ask for more
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds spit it on the floor
Could you open up your heart then close the door
And would it ever be enough

Every word you whisper
All the tears you hide
You die for love when it's alive
But where does love go when it dies

If you came across your dream would you walk on by
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die
And is there room inside your mind for one more try
And would it ever be enough

I watch the time go rushing by it's like an ocean wave
Showing you no mercy throwing dirt upon your grave
You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light
And there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now

If you woke up from your sleep blood on your hands
Would you wash the pain away no one understands
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again
And would it ever be enough

[Repeat Chorus]

Def Leppard Where Does Love Go When It Dies Comments
  1. M.... W....

    This is an easy HIT today.

  2. A.... B....

    I adore this song.

  3. N.... ....

    I hate it he sings about denying God...but the music is beautiful.

  4. j.... k....

    Slang is the most maligned album produced by Joe and the lads. It, however, is one of their best. Leppard Rocks!!!!!!!!

  5. n.... ....

    Such a great album with such emotional depth

  6. M.... W....

    I grew up in the 80's so I love Def Leppard....played the hell out of Pyromania & Hysteria!!!. I just discovered this album! Omg, it is just bad ass! And this song especially!!! ❤

  7. T.... W....

    Wow I heard about this album never heard any songs I know of off of it ..this is an awesome song, now I have to search out the others off of Slang
    But if it's anything like this or what others have said then I agree the album was definitely under rated

  8. m.... h....

    Love Love Love this song. Top ten Def Leppard song (and that is saying a LOT). If U2 wrote it, it would've won a Grammy.

  9. k.... ....

    Love like everything else when it dies, is mourned. You move on, but remember every once in a while. It either brings you smiles or tears, or sometimes both. But you will always remember it. Acknowledge that it happened. You move on, but love has a ghost that can and WILL haunt you. It's up to you though, if you choose to let that consume you.

  10. L.... F....

    This is really good can't believe inhavent heard it before I love Def Leppard

  11. k.... ....

    Slang was so freakn' underrated! This song is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.

    k.... ....

    You are so right!!! Hallo from Italy

  12. G.... ....

    such a great song. the intro always remember me of the film the big blue. Eric Serra - Le Grand Bleu (The Big Blue) (Original Soundtrack)

  13. L.... S....

    I think this would be a good video about Steve Clark.

  14. S.... P....

    Verse 1]
    Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God?
    Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost?
    And could you ever take a life when all was lost?
    Would it ever be enough?
    Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more?
    Could you kiss the wound that bleeds, spit it on the floor?
    Could you open up your heart and then close the door?
    Would it ever be enough?

    [Chorus]
    Every word you whisper
    All the tears you hide
    You die for love when it's alive
    But where does love go when it dies?

    [Verse 2]
    If you came across your dream would you walk on by?
    Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die
    And is there room inside your mind for one more try?
    Would it ever be enough?
    I watch the time go rushing by it's like an ocean wave
    Showing you no mercy throwing dirt upon your grave
    You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light
    And there ain't no prayer that's going to save you now
    If you woke up from your sleep, blood on your hands
    Would you wash the pain away? No one understands
    There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again
    Would it ever be enough?

  15. m.... h....

    If U2, Springsteen, or McCartney made this song it would have won a Grammy.

    m.... h....

    Def Leppard One of the best band ever

  16. C.... m....

    Doing this song for my school talent show soon, I honestly can't wait

  17. S.... H....

    My favourite song from the Slang record.

    Very beautiful. Makes me consider new possibilities and ideas upon each listen.

  18. a.... h....

    great song

  19. D.... L....

    Slang with me? x

  20. P.... H....

    Amazing Song Guys!!... Great Question to something that escapes us.........

  21. B.... P....

    Slang. What an amazing album. Raw energy that was not over polished. If this was released today in 2018 it would chart. One of their best songs.

  22. V.... A....

    That calls "somehow I put a blame on you, baby"

  23. V.... A....

    So obviously is smth about "One More Try"

  24. J.... R....

    Love this song.

  25. M.... ....

    This makes me want to start writing again...

  26. M.... T....

    Still listing in June 2017. Buy the 2cd deluxe and check the first draft of this out! Joseph you should have stuck with that ending on the 1st draft. One of the most under rated songs in my opinion.
    Come on lads a 2017 UK tour is needed!

    M.... T....

    Love that bass drum on that version!

  27. G.... S....

    gracias por subir las letras. de mi grupo favorito eres un amor sensacional

  28. X.... D....

    Amazing band and really amazing song. Pure magic. Def Leppard changes in Slang for more nostalgic band.

  29. R.... D....

    Hi, Hailey! I would ask you to try Great White & Tesla , Also 2 of my other bands I like a lot!

  30. K.... v....

    This should be a setlist staple, if only they had the guts!

    K.... v....

    They did play a little of it in acoustic medley around 2012 on their tour with Poison

    I wish they’d hit the stage someday playing Gift of Flesh !!! Like they did for the first part of the slang tour. They could do it to open and then go into animal and other well known hits

  31. l.... x....

    so beautiful.

  32. H.... B....

    Aye, I'm 13 lowkey love songs fr the 80's. My many of us "teens" out here who can listen to this music. buttttt if anyone knows any other songs or groups like led zeppelin, bon Jovi, poison, or anything let me know😂

    H.... B....

    ac/dc -anything, Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses, def lep- 2 steps behind ! Take care..

    H.... B....

    Hailey Budach you should listen to any song by def leopard and motley crue.
    especially songs from pyromania and hysteria (def leppard) and shout at the devil from motley crue.
    but I’ll also recommend you other bands.
    give a listen to warrant, especially song like heaven and Uncle Tom’s cabin, every rose has its thorn by poison, any song from Bon jovi’s New Jersey and gn’r lies.

    H.... B....

    Def Leppard hysteria album

    H.... B....

    Try europe firehouse guns n roses skid row and blue tears

    H.... B....

    @kpetron guns n roses november rain
    Def leppard hysteria
    Bon jovi always
    Poison something to believe in
    Firehouse love of a lifetime
    Blue tears midnight train
    Cinderella through the rain

  33. i.... r....

    still remember this song ...Pulau Perhentian..

  34. C.... ....

    es asombroso. hace años tengo una relación. estoy muy feliz pero no hace falta estar triste o despechado para percibir el dolor se esta canción y compartirlo. Def Leppard son los mejores. vengan a Panamá

  35. G.... F....

    capolavoro

    G.... F....

    Ci hanno regalato dei grandi pezzi

  36. M.... L....

    amo esta canción, mi favorita de Slang y una de las mejores de su discografía!!

  37. C.... D....

    Where does it go indeed? Sometimes it just vanishes and people give up on life.

  38. L.... H....

    This is a truly beautiful song.

  39. S.... F....

  44. N.... A....

    The best band of the world !!Please come to CHile1!

  45. R.... ....

    like this song, just because this one is untypical for Leppard. But full of emotions. Love & peace!

    R.... ....

    They actually enjoy making this stuff, but Mutt Lang wouldn't let them

    R.... ....

    +Tony O'Neill Def Leppard said they also had a ton of fun producing their latest record! you can certainly hear the energy and fun in the music :)

    R.... ....

    +John Tye I know eh? Especially in Dangerous! That song is so much fun... And there's songs like Blind Faith which just leave you unable to listen to anything else because it just hits you so hard

    R.... ....

    +Tony O'Neill I reallllly enjoy Invincible, Broke And Brokenhearted, Wings Of An Angel, and Battle Of My Own(:

    R.... ....

    Def Leppard is pure raw emotion

  46. J.... B....

    Kinda boring to me

  47. A.... E....

    In terms of classic hard rock, VAULT was some of the best album def leppard ever created and their new song of this album are much a bit more like american style whereas the previous albums was in more british way...i fond of the british type it doesnt mean i hate this versions. Their all probably dedicated these album for all fans worlwide especially to all def leppard's fan-based in the U.S. Anyway. Thanks for this album anyway...Joe Elliot!

  48. D.... W....

    Love this song

  49. B.... ....

    Deep lyrics

  50. j.... c....

    Buena rola

  51. l.... f....

    So def Leppard. So nice!!!

  52. �.... T....

    Peknučka vecička...

  53. c.... ....

    Where is the link for the Vinyl ?????????????????????????????

    c.... ....

    Slang was made in '95, not sure if it was made on Vinyl or not

    c.... ....

    Of course it was. It was even re-released when the 2cd version came out. Amazon UK sold it for a tenner for ages.

  54. J.... E....

    Really love this song.

  55. D.... K....

    The leps at their best !!

  56. P.... S....

    very nice. Almost has a spiritual feel to it. Don't care for the song Slang, but this one brings hope to me. Love you guys anyway!!

  57. �.... �....

    гарна пісня. чекаю її виконання в Україні

  58. M.... ....

    My favourite song off 'Slang'! I really loved the album and I wish more people would give it a listen!

    M.... ....

    Most underrated album of all time?

    M.... ....

    I brought it the first day it came out, took a few listens to really like the Album. This is a great track. Wish they kept Move with me Slowly as part of the album, it was only release in Japan as part of slang due to import laws to encourage japanese consumers to buy the Slang japanese version. I personally think Blood Runs Cold and All I want is everything are the best two tracks with Where does love goes as a close second.

    M.... ....

    This album is slept on

    M.... ....

    Their most underated album the re release even better

  59. R.... ....

    I love this song, this entire album was fantastic. Thank you for putting out songs you ALL believed in and still do almost 20 years after the fact. :D
