Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave) Lyrics
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.
I can't believe no-one has written about this song it is amazing. I think it's about a relationship ending and being reminded by the ex and still having feeling for them. This is one of their best
i absolutely love this song. i cried when i listened to it for the first time in 8 years. but thats cos it holds special meaning to me and my childhood.
i agree with the above comment, about the song's meaning :)
I have met many women who refuse to let me even listen to Roxette because the songs represent scummy ex-boyfriends. This is one here no exception, and it might be my favorite song in the world. Please, ladies, be kind to the rare man who likes Roxette. :)
@pinback buddy I feel ya. I love this song and Roxette. Reunion your PLEASE!

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 ...
I remember listening to this song growing up...i love this song sooo much! its a great song...a great album

This is a really good song. I think its about a person trying to get over someone by seeing other people, but can't get over their original lover.
Personally I've always interpreted the lyrics to be about someone who was very shy. She had a crush on someone and really wanted to be with that person, but was too self-conscious and hid every time she saw her crush. And then ended up feeling really bad every time her crush left, knowing she had failed once again to talk to him.
The song is about a woman who broke up with a guy, and is ready to see the world through fresh eyes (a life not involving him). She knows it will take time to get him out of her head, but she wants to try and move on from the past. When she sees him, she is always reminded of times they had together. This makes her wonder if she made the right decision because it musters up the old feelings again. Because of this she tries to avoid seeing him in the hope the feelings will stay at bay. She knows she misses him being there – “When I scream there’s no reply, When I reach out there’s nothing to find, When I sleep I break down and cry” but she isn’t sure whether to go back to him or try to move on without him.
Everyone is like a flower that anyone can destroy, but with our force we can go on I love you my sweet tsarina you're mine forever
