CACTUS (Desert Bloom) - Lyrics
(Verse 1)
You don’t say much, you just look through me
Arms crossed tight like it’s you versus me
Every room you walk into goes quiet
Like you’re daring someone else to try it
You got sharp words, you don’t mean to
Every touch feels like it might bruise you
You don’t smile, you just half pretend
Like you learned young how to self-defend
(Pre Chorus)
Everyone says you’re trouble
Hard to read, hard to trust
But I see cracks in the armour
When the lights go low enough
(Chorus 1)
You’re a cactus in the desert sun
Spikes out like you don’t need anyone
Give off bad vibes, push love away
Say you’re fine but you don’t stay
Yeah you hurt before you’re hurt again
Build your walls out of maybes and then
You don’t let anyone get too close
But I know you’re more than what you show
(Verse 2)
You flinch when I say your name
Like kindness makes you nervous, babe
You laugh it off, play it cool
But your eyes tell me the truth
You say you’re better on your own
Say you’re safer being stone
But I hear the fear in your voice
When you say you don’t have a choice
(Pre Chorus)
You learned how to be unlovable
Before you learned how to be held
So you made yourself untouchable
Before someone else could tell
(Chorus 2)
You’re a cactus in the pouring rain
Still acting like it doesn’t change
Give off bad vibes, keep your space
Like love’s just another mistake
Yeah you hurt before you’re hurt again
Call it strength but it’s self-defence
You don’t let anyone see you bleed
But I see the parts you hide from me
(Bridge)
Maybe you don’t need fixing
Maybe you just need time
Maybe you’re not that heartless
Maybe you’re just scared of mine
If I stay when you push me away
If I don’t run when you test my faith
Would you let your guard come down?
Would you let me see you now?
(Break/Drop)
No thorns, no shield
Just say how you feel
(Final Chorus)
You’re not a cactus when you’re close to me
You’re softer than you let anyone see
All that pain was just protection
All those scars were misdirection
You bloom when you finally breathe
When you stop bracing for the leave
You’re not hard to love, just scared to try
You’re not bad vibes, you’re just surviving life, you're just surviving life
