In a time where the sun descends alone, 
I ran a long long way from home 
to find a heart that's made of stone. 
I will try, I just need a little time 
to get your face right out of my mind, 
to see the world through different eyes. 

Every time I see you 
oh I try to hide away 
but when we meet it seems I can't let go. 
Every time you leave the room 
I feel I'm fading like a flower. 

Tell me why? 
When I scream there's no reply, 
when I reach out there's nothing to find, 
when I sleep I break down and cry. 

Every time I see you 
oh I try to hide away 
but when we meet it seems I can't let go. 
Every time you leave the room 
I feel I'm fading like a flower. 

Fading like a rose, 
fading like a rose, 
beaten by the storm, 
talking to myself, 
getting washed by the rain, 
it's such a cold cold town. 

Every time I see you 
oh I try to hide away 
but when we meet it seems I can't let go. 
Every time you leave the room 
I feel I'm fading like a flower.
