[Verse 1]
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 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus 1 & 2]
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 (x3)
