Lyrics of ‘Lonely Cactus’ by Dami Im

 

Late again to dinner

Gave you 3 weeks notice

As per your requirement

 

But you’re counting down the minutes

Till your next appointment

Stuck in awkward silence

 

Underneath what you do

There’s nothing but blue

And pieces that don’t have a place

 

Everyone sees clearly 

They’re scared to hurt your feelings

Now let me tell it to your face 

 

You’re a lonely cactus 

All on your own

You’re on the attack but

You sit by the phone

A lonely cactus

In the desert sun

But you’re scared if you get too close

 

You wonder why nobody tries anymore

You bleed us dry still want it all

There’s more to life than chasing you in circles

Do you want to run at all

 

Underneath what you do

There’s nothing but blue

And pieces that don’t have a place

I’m so tired of hearing

Leave your name and number

Now let me tell it to your face

 

You’re a lonely cactus 

All on your own

You’re on the attack but

You sit by the phone

A lonely cactus

In the desert sun

But you’re scared if you get too close

You’ll hurt someone

 

I’ll weather the storm

And I’ll take on these thorns

Cause I miss you

I’ll break through armour you’ve worn for so long

Cos you miss me too

 

You’re a lonely cactus 

All on your own

You’re on the attack but

You sit by the phone

A lonely cactus

In the desert sun

And you’re scared of getting too close

 

You’re a lonely cactus 

All on your own

You’re on the attack but

You sit by the phone

A lonely cactus

In the desert sun

You’re scared if you get too close

You’ll hurt someone

You’ll hurt someone

You’re so scared

That you’ll hurt someone
