Rainbows

The day you were born was the best day of your life From there, you learned to smile through pain and Say "it's a good day," even if that meant you were lying You've been lying every day for a long time You've been painting your possessions a deeper shade of blue Cause that's what your mother and your father asked of you Well they don't like rainbows, do they They don't like rainbows, do they And they don't like snowflakes, either Give them a snowstorm, darling You asked your mother what those words meant to her She never said them, but you knew she meant them She didn't have tell you, you're her liability You heard her telling her work friends You tried to be the boy she wished that you were You cut your hair for her, you burnt that dress for her You painted every wall the deepest shade of blue They covered up the rainbow but they still couldn't hide you Well they don't like rainbows, do they They don't like rainbows, do they And they don't like snowflakes, either Give them a snowstorm darling Give them a snowstorm Understand you have a place on this earth That is something you can't afford to forget Understand you will encounter people Trying to blame someone else for their own self hatred You were conditioned to hate yourself Based on the opinion of everyone else Rethink You are not a label or a liability Rethink You are not a label or a liability You are a ray across the sky, don't forget your strength Rethink You are not a label or a liability Rethink You are not a label or a liability Rethink You are not a label or a liability You are not a label
