[Verse] I loved a cactus sharp and green Prickly truths in every scene It drank the sun it held the rain A heart like that knows no pain [Chorus] Cactus heart you never cry Standing tall beneath the sky Roots so deep you’ll never part Teach me how to grow a cactus heart [Verse 2] It doesn’t ask it doesn’t plead Takes what’s given it’s all it needs No perfume no velvet sheen Just quiet strength in spines unseen [Prechorus] Oh how I wish I knew How to live like you do [Chorus] Cactus heart you never cry Standing tall beneath the sky Roots so deep you’ll never part Teach me how to grow a cactus heart [Bridge] I’m soft I bruise I fall apart You’re the master of the art When storms come you never bend Cactus heart till the bitter end
