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
