Take these roses off of me
Let me live, let me be for a little while
Let my eyes see everything
And nothing in their time I do not mind

Who would've guessed I'd have learned
To let the walls around me burn
Light up the hillside my words, I ate them for so long
And nothing changed it was just the same

And I don't know if you see me here
But I can tell you your face is clear
I will see you forever, forever
I will see you forever, forever

Call me close once again
Call me teacher, call me friend just like the first time
Call my name, it echoes in the walls
Around this room it's all you

I don't know if you hear me there
When it's darkest, no one cares
I will hear you forever, forever
I will hear you forever, forever

I wanted you to be everything to me
Now I've got to learn to carry on
I know I cannot hide, this emptiness inside
But nothing is the same since you've gone

Send me letters from above
Send me strength, send me love
Such sweet love, sing me songs that echo in my head
And in my heart that's where you are

And I don't know if you feel me here
I can tell you one thing is clear
I will feel you forever, forever
I will feel you forever, forever
I will hear you forever, forever
I will see you forever, forever

Take these roses off of me
Let me live, let me be
