Lights - Cactus In The Valley

I never meant to wither
I wanted to be tall
Like a fool left the river
And watched my branches fall
Old and thirsty, I longed for the flood
To come back around
To the cactus in the valley
That's about to crumble down

And wipe the mark of sadness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name

So, the storm finally found me
And left me in the dark
In the cloud around me
I don't know where you are
If this whole world goes up in arms
All I can do is stand
And I won't fight for anyone
Until you move my hand

And wipe the mark of madness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name

Oh, here
In the shadow
Here I am
And I need someone by my side
It becomes so
Hard to stand
And I keep trying to dry my eyes
Come and find me
In the valley

And wipe the mark of sadness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name

Wipe the mark of madness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name
Woo ooh
Tell me that you still recall my name
Tell me that you still recall my name

I know everyone prefers the acoustic of her songs, but I honestly just love this version to death.. and just her whole sound. It sounds so dreamy.

[cursethetide507]

I prefer the original versions. So much fun to sing alone in your car very loudly to.

your boyfriend wasn't allowed to have a personal taste wow that's pretty pathetic.

[RainbowSprinkles1001]

Want to smile for this song? Think of a single cactus dancing to this, like a one person party.

My comment = also a joke. :D

[SonnySulouff]

Both versions are beautiful. But I like how her voice sounds more natural and less computerized in the acoustic.

[l TheGuyUnlikely l]

[MooTelevision]

Im pretty sure that was just a joke.

[ItBeHayley]

[EmuManWysiwyg]

You, because your boyfriend left you a heartbroken mess when you told him the only thing you like in a man is his music taste and that has to be Lights.

[Sims2CrazeTV]

Lights is the complete and utter shit. Everyone stop talking. Listen to the music. Enjoy it.
