Fading Like a Rose

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
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
