After I brought you the sunshine
You left me out in the rain
I took your part, gave you your start
Now you reward me with a broken heart

I helped you win and when you won
I was the one to lose
You took the colours from the rainbow
And left me with the blues
After I brought you the sunshine
You left me standing out in the rain

It was raining when I hear your story
It was raining and your friends were few
I helped you all I could
Made sure that you made good
I paved the way for you
Now you say we're through

(Instrumental Break)

I helped you win and when you won
I was the one to lose
You took the colours from the rainbow
And left me with the blues
After I brought you the sunshine
You left me standing out in the rain
