Can you tell if I'm cold
If I'm out of daydreams
If I lose what is loved
Will a new love await me?
I am touched by wonder
When I am blind in the dark

But you drown me in daylight
Don't swim with me darling
I prefer the sun of you
When you are away

If I am left with a rose in my hand, let it die
It's the beauty in forgotten love
And I don't care if you don't understand why I cry
It's the beauty in forgotten love

I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me
I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me
And my dreams become sweeter when something is missing
I'm in love with the hunt itself
It makes me feel alive, alive

If I am left with a rose in my hand, let it die
It's the beauty in forgotten love
And I don't care if you don't understand why I cry
It's the beauty in forgotten love

I release my body
And there is no ghost of you inside my mind
I am moving on
And thank God you let me try
You are the reason I can dance
Within the fire of goodbyes, of goodbyes
I can lie in the dark room without the feeling that I'm lonely
Oh, (it's the beauty of forgotten love) oh...

If I am left with a rose in my hand, let it die
It's the beauty in forgotten love
And I don't care if you don't understand why I cry
It's the beauty in forgotten love
