Cactus Heart (Remastered)

[Verse] You left me standing in the desert sun. Dry as a bone, but I still won’t run. Every step I take feels like a dare With the prick of love still hanging in the air. [Chorus] I got a cactus heart, Sharp and green, Hiding water where it can't be seen. Try to hold me, You'll feel the sting. But I'm still standing through everything. [Verse 2] Your words were needles in the night. They stuck, but never felt quite right. I bloom once a year - That’s my way. But you missed it - Left me in decay. [Prechorus] The sand shifts. The wind won’t stay. I’m rooted here Come what may. [Chorus] I got a cactus heart, Sharp and green, Hiding water where it can't be seen. Try to hold me, You'll feel the sting. But I'm still standing through everything. [prolonged instrumental loss] [instrumental improvisation] [Bridge] No rain, No love, No shade to find. But I grow stronger Leave you behind In a field of thorns. I’m the king. Surviving alone is my favorite thing. [Chorus] I got a cactus heart, Sharp and green, Hiding water where it can't be seen. Try to hold me, You'll feel the sting. But I'm still standing through everything. [End]
