Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)
Roxette · Hits (Aussie Tour Ed) [2011]
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
(Storm)
Talking to myself
Getting washed by the rain
It's such a cold, cold town
Ooo, it's 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
(Flower).
Ooo.
Ooo-oh-oh
Every time you leave the room
I feel I'm fading like a flower
Every time I see you.
Ooo
I'm fading like a rose
Every time you leave the room
Every time I see you
Every time I see you.
