Rainbow Takeaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everything you tell me
You sell me
And I'm so
Every time you pay me
You play me
So cold
You're guaranteed to break
The promises you make
Tell me why, tell me why do I let you be
You always leave me on
And when I'm weak you're strong
You know I don't think you really love me at all, not at all
You don't really love me
You don't really love me
You don't really love me at all
Everything you sent me
You bear me your way
Every song is loaded, exploded
In my face
You're guaranteed to break
The promises you make
Tell me why, tell me why do I let you be
You always leave me on
And when I'm weak you're strong
You know I don't think you really love me at all, not at all
You don't really love me
You don't really love me
You don't really love me at all
You're guaranteed to break
The promises you make
Tell me why, tell me why do I let you be
You always leave me on
And when I'm weak you're strong
You know I don't think you really love me at all, not at all
You don't really love me
You don't really love me
You don't really love love love me
You don't really love love love me
You don't really love love love me
You don't really love me
You don't really love me
You don't really love love love me
You don't really love love love me
You don't really love love love me
