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
|
|
In a big country dreams stay with you
|
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
|
Stay alive [x2]
|
|
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
|
|
In a big country dreams stay with you
|
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
|
Stay alive [x2]
