I've never seen you
look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through,
another season passes by you

I never took the smile
away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way
to look for someone who is still a child

*In a big country
dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice
far as the mountainside
Stay alive

I thought that pain and truth
were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here
with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting
to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe
and see the sun in wintertime

*Chorus x 2

So take that look out of here,
it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened
doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor,
come up screaming
Cry out for everything
you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth
were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here
with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting
to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe
and see the sun in wintertime

*Chorus x 3
