I wrote this song to keep from killing myself It was all I had left when they said "we've found someone else" I know it's not cool to reveal I almost died But I'm tired and I know you never like me when I lie If this is the end of my rainbow I need to know I wanna be free from every chain If I'm gonna die before I find my pot of gold Why am I standing in the rain I've been around the world I've seen some ugly things I recall words of wisdom dangling from their puppet strings If sun comes round the way they say it does in songs I was wrong I've been waiting for the punch line way too long If this is the end of my rainbow I need to know I wanna be free from every chain If I'm gonna die before I find my pot of gold Then why am I standing in the rain All that I need is a River running over me I want to be beautiful again And in time I will shine Underwater I will be divine Come on keep on raining Keep on raining If this is the end of my rainbow, I need to know
