Who would sell their soul for love?
Or waste one tear on compromise?
Should be easy enough
To know a heartache in disguise.
But the heart rules the mind
And the going gets rough.
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love.
I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost that place inside.
Where my heart knew its way
And my soul was ever wise.
Once innocence was lost
There was not faith enough.
Still my heart held on
When it found that kind of love.
Though beauty is rare enough
Still we trust
Somehow we'll find it there.
With no guarantee
It seems to me
At least it should be fair.
But if it's only tears and pain
Isn't it still worth the cost.
Like some sweet saving grace
Or a river we must cross.
If we don't understand
What this life is made of,
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love.
'Cause when innocence is lost
There is not faith enough.
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love.
