Rainbow In the Dark

I cried when you left me

It's lonely now you're gone

I walk like a shadow of the man

That I've become

This seed of rejection

Has finally found a home

I can't shake the words you said

They chill me to the bone

Left bleeding and helpless

Somehow I lost control

These smouldering embers

Light fires in my soul, yeah

When I kissed you

It was over

This love was through

Dead and gone

No one ever said

You had to choose

Like a rainbow in the dark

The irony is cruel

You told me you loved me

“Would I ever lie to you?”

If that was the truth what does

“It's over!” mean to you?

You tried to convince me

That I was better off

You sold me the dream but now

I'm left to count the cost

Still, battered and broken

I'm stronger than you know

I held onto love but

It's harder to let go, yeah

When I kissed you

It was over

This love was through

Dead and gone

No one ever said

You had to choose

Like a rainbow in the dark

The irony is cruel

But I miss you

And now you'll never know

This heart 'in two'

Soldiers on

What the hell was it

You tried to prove?

Like a rainbow in the dark

I'm just a coloured fool

When I kissed you

It was over

This love was through

Dead and gone

No one ever said

You had to choose

Like a rainbow in the dark

The irony is cruel

But I miss you

And now you'll never know

This heart 'in two'

Soldiers on

What the hell was it

You tried to prove?

Like a rainbow in the dark

I'm just a coloured fool
