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
[Chorus]
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
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
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
