I want to feel better but I don't know how
Write your name in a broken heart
In the sky the sun is shining down
But inside of me it's cold and dark

Wind whispers doubts into my ear
Tells me I'm to blame
That the world wants me to disappear
Filling me with shame

So I think I must deserve this fate
Your absence my punishment
I wish my pain would be erased
But it stays perpetually present

Again and again I am destroyed
Each hour alone brings me griefΒ Β 
I can no longer find any joy
I search everywhere but it's out of reach

When will the downpour within my soul stop?
So a rainbow can take it's place
By now it should be over but it's clearly not
I long for color to occupy this empty space
Please don't come back another day
