Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave) Roxette Words & Music: Per Gessle In a time where the sun descends alone, I ran a long long way from home to find a heart that's made out 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.
