Chasing Rainbows

[Verse 1] I’ve seen you running after colors in the sky Thinking they can lead you somewhere worth your time You keep betting on a fairytale I just wait and watch you fail You chase the gold, ignore the rain Dress up the doubt and hide the pain Every step a waste of time Leaving better things behind [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you think you’ll find At the edge of your own mind Do you really want to know What you'll find below [Chorus] Chasing rainbows Like they owe you something real But there’s no pot of gold Just the emptiness you feel Chasing rainbows ‘Til the colors disappear And all that’s left is gray And the truth you didn’t hear [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] I’ve been there, drunk on that same hope Swore there was magic at the end of the road But all I found was an empty place Laughing at me for the time I’d waste They say “don’t give up, you’ll make it through” But I know now that’s never true Every promise left to die Nothing there but empty sky [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you think you’ll find At the edge of your own mind Do you really want to know What you'll find below [Chorus] Chasing rainbows Like they owe you something real But there’s no pot of gold Just the emptiness you feel Chasing rainbows ‘Til the colors disappear And all that’s left is gray And the truth you didn’t hear [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] We were kids, we believed Now we know, now we see All the colors, they mean nothing And the magic's make-believe All the dreams that we outgrew Are the ones still choking you Let them go, they're only lies Chasing rainbows in the sky [Instrumental Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you think you’ll find At the edge of your own mind Do you really want to know What you'll find below [Chorus] Chasing rainbows Like they owe you something real But there’s no pot of gold Just the emptiness you feel Chasing rainbows ‘Til the colors disappear And all that’s left is gray And the truth you didn’t hear [Instrumental Solo] [Instrumental Outro]
