I cried when you left me
It's lonely now you're gone
I walk like a shadow of the man
That I've become
This seed of rejection
Has finally found a home
I can't shake the words you said
They chill me to the bone
Left bleeding and helpless
Somehow I lost control
These smouldering embers
Light fires in my soul, yeah
When I kissed you
It was over
This love was through
Dead and gone
No one ever said
You had to choose
Like a rainbow in the dark
The irony is cruel
You told me you loved me
“Would I ever lie to you?”
If that was the truth what does
“It's over!” mean to you?
You tried to convince me
That I was better off
You sold me the dream but now
I'm left to count the cost
Still, battered and broken
I'm stronger than you know
I held onto love but
It's harder to let go, yeah
When I kissed you
It was over
This love was through
Dead and gone
No one ever said
You had to choose
Like a rainbow in the dark
The irony is cruel
But I miss you
And now you'll never know
This heart 'in two'
Soldiers on
What the hell was it
You tried to prove?
Like a rainbow in the dark
I'm just a coloured fool
When I kissed you
It was over
This love was through
Dead and gone
No one ever said
You had to choose
Like a rainbow in the dark
The irony is cruel
But I miss you
And now you'll never know
This heart 'in two'
Soldiers on
What the hell was it
You tried to prove?
Like a rainbow in the dark
I'm just a coloured fool
