I've never seen you look like this without a reason,
E A F#m A B
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.
B – A – F#m

I never took the smile away from anybody's face,
E A F#m A B
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
E A F#m A B
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
