“I 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 fires 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 / 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.”
