Lyrics

Verse 1] In a desert plain, where the sun blasts down, I’m just a cactus, standing out in this town. Sharp and spiked in a green facade, Amidst soft petals, I feel like a fraud. [Chorus] Why do I always stand alone? With these thorns I call my own. In this garden, I don’t belong, My shadow’s cast, too harsh, too long. [Verse 2] Rooted deep but it's hard to grow, When you’re surrounded, yet nobody knows. They whisper soft, but I hear the screams, Mismatched in this field of dreams. [Chorus] Why do I always stand alone? With these thorns I call my own. In this garden, I don’t belong, My shadow’s cast, too harsh, too long. [Instrumental] [Bridge] In a class of roses, where do I go? Every smile they wear, every face just for show. I bleed water, they bleed red, Inside this garden, I’m misread. [Outro] But these thorns protect me, make me strong, In this wrong place, I'll prove I belong. I may be different, but I'll endure, In this desert, I am the cure.
