"Sunflower" lyrics

I know which way my river flows
But I'm chasing my own tail
I'm trying to move like sunflowers grow
But my roots have so much weight

Why do they take off to disparate places
While I try to find my way?
Every lover just leaves me the same
Am I the fool to complain?

Ooh whatever they say
I'll keep climbing up
I'll keep climbing up all the way
Ooh wherever they go
I'll keep climbing up all on my own

I'm beaten down when love is lost
Feel it draining from my veins
It's not for lack of loving myself
I've been practising for days
(The months, the weeks, the days)

Why does it end when it's only just started
Promises broken, so frail
I'm a romantic, but my words have weight
With me, you've always got faith

Ooh whatever they say
I'll keep climbing up
I'll keep climbing up all the way
Ooh wherever they go
I'll keep climbing up all on my own
