In the time it took
you to say the words
My whole world fell
apart
I had no idea you
felt this way
And that, I suppose,
speaks for itself
Have I been so wrapped
up in myself
That I stopped seeing
you
Really seeing you
I never noticed you
were unhappy
I guess I never noticed
you at all
But someone else did
And while I've been
busy chasing my rainbows
You have found a new
love
And too late, I realize
the truth
I held the pot of
gold in my hands all the time
Now I've lost it....lost
you
And the colors of
my rainbow have turned to gray
