Black Rainbows Intro Black rainbows— That’s what I call it when hope comes back Looking different. Verse 1 I fold my doubts into paper boats, Set them loose in a glass of hope. They never float, they only spin, Like every love I’ve let walk in. I say “I’m fine” like it’s a skill, Like silence ever paid the bills. I keep my promises half-alive, Breathing just enough to survive. Verse 2 You talk in futures, I hear alarms, I’ve seen how tomorrow slips from arms. I love like something I might lose, Careful, clumsy, already bruised. I don’t fall fast, I fall aware, Counting exits in every prayer. If I seem distant, it’s not you— It’s the past still clearing its throat. Chorus Black rainbows over my head, Proof that broken light still bends. I’m not afraid of loving wrong, I’m scared of leaving when I should stay. I know how to run, I know the routes, But I’m done outrunning truth. I’m still learning how to stay Under black rainbows. Verse 3 I collect goodbyes like change in jars, Small enough not to look like scars. Every “almost” taught me grace, How absence wears a familiar face. You reach for truth, I reach for time, Like honesty isn’t also a crime. I want to believe we’re more than chance, But chance has a convincing stance. Bridge If I hesitate, don’t call it doubt, It’s just me checking the way out. I’ve learned that doors can sound like home, And open hands can still let go. If you want me, want me slow, Let me learn you like a language I won’t forget. Final Chorus Black rainbows in the pouring rain, Not a cure, but proof I stayed. I’m not afraid of broken things, I’m scared of fixing just to fall apart. I know how to survive the storm, I know how to leave unscathed— But loving you is teaching me How to stay. Outro Black rainbows. Not the kind you wish for— The kind you earn.
