Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)

Roxette · Hits (Aussie Tour Ed) [2011]

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

(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.
