Rainbow

What are you supposed to do

When your rainbow breaks in two

And all those stars come crashing to the ground

What are you supposed to do

When your pot of gold is fool's gold

And you're the only fool left around

What are you supposed to do

When the one you're counting on

Turns out she just can't do the math

What are you supposed to do

When your rainbow breaks in two

Now all you're left with is a half

What are you supposed to say

When the one who's going away

Turns out her ticket was for two

How can you carry on

When you've been stolen from

By the very one who said she'd be true

And all your setting suns

Turns out that they weren't done

They were coming up in someone else's world

What are you supposed to do

When your rainbows break in two

And all your favourite colours went to her

Pick up half a rainbow

Throw it over your shoulder

Tell her you're glad

That it's finally over

And find another rainbow

You can hook up to

That's what you're supposed to do

Yeah, pick up half a rainbow

Throw it over your shoulder

Tell her you're glad

That it's finally over

And find another rainbow

You can hook up to

That's what you're supposed to do
