I've been chasing the Sun
Full of hopes and dreams
I had only begun
And thought greatness was my destiny
But then time passed me by
And my wishes never came true
Now I watch myself wither
Slowly
Petal by petal

I've been young and beautiful
But now I start to fade away
Now I'm only getting old
And I will never be the same
I shiver
Like a sunflower in the shade
I'm a sunflower in the shade
I'm a sunflower in the shade

I've been trying too hard
Made myself look like such a fool
Tearing myself apart
Was it all worth the sacrifice?
Is it time I let go?
Maybe I am ready now
To watch myself dry and crumble
Slowly
Year by year

I've been young and beautiful
But now I start to fade away
Now I'm only getting old
And I will never be the same
I shiver
Like a sunflower in the shade
I'm a sunflower in the shade
I'm a sunflower in the shade

I shiver
I shiver
I shiver, I shiver, I shiver

I've been young and beautiful
But now I start to fade away
Now I'm only getting old
And I will never be the same
I shiver
Like a sunflower

I've been young and beautiful
But now I start to fade away
Now I'm only getting old
And I will never be the same
I shiver
Like a sunflower in the shade
I'm a sunflower in the shade
I'm a sunflower in the shade
I'm a sunflower
In the shade
