If love is a flower
It needs compassion to grow but
How do you nurture
When you feel all alone
And if hope is a candle
My wick has burnt away
My smoke is a waving, ash grey
I'm fading away
I'm burnt out at both ends
I'm always exhausted
I'm so tired, I'm trying, I'm trying
Believe me I'm trying
I give up,
I can't do this anymore.
If love is a flower
It needs compassion to grow but
How do you nurture
When you feel all alone
And if hope is a candle
My wick has burnt away
My smoke is a waving ash grey
I'm fading away
I've built up a wall
To protect me from harm
But how will I know
When the right person comes along
I'm so afraid of letting anyone in
At risk of getting hurt
A broken heart heals protracted
Beating still unheard
I keep pretending
That everything's okay
But the truth is you're the reason
It's hard to smile everyday
The closer you look the less of me you'll see
