Songtext von Compassion & Growth

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
