Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave) Lyrics

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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


[Chorus]
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
Ooh such a cold town
[Chorus]
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)

Ooh, ooh (Every time you leave the room)
I feel I'm fading like a flower (Every time I see you)
Ooh, I'm fading like a rose (Every time you leave the room)
Every time I see you (Every time I see you)

[Outro]
Every time you leave the room

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
