[Intro]
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
[Verse 1]
Late again to dinner
Gave you three weeks notice
As per your requirement
But you're counting down the minutes
'Til your next appointment
Stuck in awkward silence
[Pre-Chorus]
Underneath what you do, there's nothing but blue
And pieces that don't have a place (No place)
Everyone sees clearly, they're scared to hurt your feelings
Now, let me tell it to your face
[Chorus]
You're a lonely cactus
All on your own
You're only the type to sit by the phone
A lonely cactus
In the desert sun
But you're scared if you get too close
[Verse 2]
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 wanna run at all?
[Pre-Chorus]
Underneath what you do, there's nothing but blue
And pieces that don't have a place (No place)
I'm so tired of hearing, "Leave your name and number"
Now let me tell it to your face
[Chorus]
You're a lonely cactus
All on your own
You're only the type to sit by the phone
A lonely cactus
In the desert sun
But you're scared if you get too close
[Post-Chorus]
You'll hurt someone
Do-do-do-do
Oh, oh
Do-do-do-do
You'll hurt someone
Do-do-do-do
Oh, oh
Do-do-do-do
[Bridge]
I'll weather the storm and I'll take all these thorns 'cause I miss you
I'll break through the armour you've worn for so long 'cause you miss me too
[Chorus]
You're a lonely cactus
All on your own
You're only the type to sit by the phone
A lonely cactus
In the desert sun
And you're scared I'll get in too close (Oh-woah)
You're a lonely cactus
All on your own
You're only the type to sit by the phone
A lonely cactus (Oh)
In the desert sun (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, you're scared if you get too close
[Post-Chorus]
You'll hurt someone
Do-do-do-do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Do-do-do-do
You'll hurt someone
Do-do-do-do
You're so scared, oh-oh
Do-do-do-do
That you'll hurt someone

Dami Im released Lonely Cactus on Fri Feb 19 2021.
I wrote it during COVID world. There were days when I felt lonely. I needed to make friends or see my friends. Other days I just wanted to be along – everything was annoying me; I started to not answer phone calls. We made the lyrics into talking about another person because you don’t want to sound...
