Won't Chase Rainbows Anymore

I've been a fool, for so long now

Holding on to a dream

Opened my eyes, and looked around

Things weren't the way that they seemed

I realized, suddenly now

Things aren't the same as before

I've had the rain, I need the sun

I won't chase rainbows anymore

I've looked at my life, roads gone by

I won't be taking again

The loves I thought, were really there

Turned out to be just friends

I've cried my tears, especially for you

But never again like before

I've had the rain, I need the sun

I won't chase rainbows anymore

I know there's a pot of gold

Somewhere waiting just for me

I thought that it was you

But now I realize

We were never meant to be

So I'm letting go , for the first time in my life

I'm leaving now and closing this door

On a love that I wanted so bad

I won't chase rainbows anymore

I'm moving on, alone once again

But then it's always been that way

This dream I had, this beautiful dream

Awakes me now to the light of a brand new day

In time to come, I'm sure things will change

But of one thing I am sure

I'll let love find me this time

I won't chase rainbows anymore

I know there's a pot of gold

Somewhere waiting just for me

I thought that it was you

But now I realize

We were never meant to be

So I'm letting go, for the first time in my life

I'm leaving now and closing this door

On a love that I wanted so bad

I won't chase rainbows anymore
