There's a cactus in the corner of the room
A housewarming gift from you, I forget to take care of it
Every time I don't remember it needs food,
Somehow it still blooms, it doesn't seem to need me much

Still I feel a little guilty not to act like
Maybe I should give it back, I wonder am I just scared of it
It's just as easy to forget that it's sufficient on it's own
And it's resilient and other people water it too

Sometimes I am unaware of other people standing there
As I get caught in a moment
Believing I'm necessary to the narrative
Might be my cardinal sin

Life is a series of hurts, and we learn from a couple
Trying to be what we know that we're not yet
You know as well as I do

Do you remember when I said I was afraid that you might leave
And then you loved me selflessly as I walked away
It's funny how the hardest thing for me
Is not honesty or peace, but being consistently good

To everyone that's hard for me to see
By my side or on the street, loving is difficult work
But it's hardest to believe that they're sufficient on their own
And they're resilient and other people see them too

Sometimes I am unaware of other people standing there
As I get caught in a moment
Believing I'm necessary to the narrative
Might be my cardinal sin

Life is a series of hurts, and we learn from a couple
Trying to be what we know that we're not yet
You know as well as I do
You know as well as I do
You know as well as I do

What can I do, when I hurt you
Maybe I'll learn something new
But I hate that I hurt you

Life is a series of hurts, and we learn from a couple
Trying to be what we know that we're not yet
You know as well as I do
You know as well as I do
You know as well as I do
