[Verse 1] Don’t drown your tears in poison light Don’t chase the dark to kill the night Let sorrow rise with colors bold Where grief and beauty both take hold [Verse 2] She hides in violets just before they fade In every joy, her shadow's laid She touches lips that taste like rain And turns your ecstasy to pain [Pre-Chorus] She doesn’t scream, she softly sings Where every bloom begins to sting [Chorus] Oh, where sorrow lives, beauty lingers Soft as silk on broken fingers She waits in laughter, hides in gold Where love is fierce, but never told Hold her close, don't let her go She’s the truth that makes you whole [Verse 3] Do not forget her sacred name She walks with fire, she burns with shame She is the soul of joy's disguise The gleam that fades from lover’s eyes [Pre-Chorus] She doesn’t flee, she wants to stay To teach you love will slip away [Chorus] Oh, where sorrow lives, beauty lingers Soft as silk on broken fingers She waits in laughter, hides in gold Where love is fierce, but never told Hold her close, don't let her go She’s the truth that makes you whole [Bridge – whispered / floaty] Don’t turn your face from tears They water the soul Don’t close the door on pain It knows where you're whole [Final Chorus – intimate then soaring] Oh, where sorrow lives, beauty lingers Like firelight on trembling singers She kisses joy, then fades to gray But you’ll remember her always Hold her close, then set her free She’s the cost of memory
