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
Cry, yeah

Every time I see you
Oh, I try to hide away
But, when we meet
It seems I can't let go (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
Oh, such a 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

Every time I see you
Oh, I try to hide away
But, when we meet
It seems I can't let go (can't let go)
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a

Every time I see you
Oh, I try to hide away
But, when we meet
It seems I can't let go (can't let go)
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower, oh

Oh
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower
Every time I see you

Fading like a rose
Every time you leave the room
Every time I see you (every time I see you)
