Nujabes - Chasing Rainbows lyrics

[Verse 1:] Dear you Before you read this letter keep in mind That I was always terrible with saying goodbye And this is no exception, except this time My heart hurts every time I write another line For you and I to work, maybe there's another time Only time can tell because I can't do it What I can do is reminisce the innocence And put a little bit of sentiment in my own music So I flow through it, with my eyes closed Fake smiles and laughs, I gotta try those For the sake of bein' a hypocrite A smile does cross my face whenever I remember it And I don't even know what to write Maybe my pen does, just know I send love And I know regret is bad for health But sometimes I ask myself: Was it somethin' that I said? Or maybe somethin' that I wrote? I always ramble in my head But when I talk, I choke You know it happened for a reason Look, but every reason ain't a vote But whatever, we're still breathing This is my goodbye note Before I go, just know [Hook:] You're my flower (You're my flower) You're a river (You're my river) You're a rainbow (You're my rainbow) And I go everywhere that thang goes You're a flower (You're my flower) You're a river (You're my river) You're a rainbow (You're my rainbow) You're my light so I never let a day go by [Bridge:] Look, I know we had our ups and downs And I know you probably look at me unfavorably right now But I just want to thank you for everything Because of you, I'm the person who I am today I don't know if that's good or bad [Verse 2:] How do I start my second paragraph? A hard dose of reality, gotta take it fast I know it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth But, you're so sweet you could even it out I don't remember what the hate was about What the arguments until the nights was late was about Call it selective memory, but baby I doubt The way you wanna see me goes is in a negative clout Cause uh, I know it's hard to make lemonade out of sour fruit But grief is a monster, don't let it devour you, or overpower you Not for me, I wanna see you happy even if it's not with me And if not for me, please smile for the sake Of having your most beautiful trait on your face Great, now I'm thinkin' about your laugh I gotta remember it's stuck in the past It happened so fast, but we know we saw it comin' It crept up on us, it's not like we were runnin' When everything comes to an end We pretend that we'll never have a chance of happiness again You're somethin' like a friend with a little more importance So I use my pen to add rea**urance That everything, everything is done You're my rainbow reflecting off the sun And the flower in my heart that grew like a sprout You're also the river that healed my drought So here's my song and you renovated minds Taught me patience in the gift of time f**, I think it's best if I stopped here I'm sorry if my handwriting is not clear But by the time you read this, I'll be gone A note that turned into a song And I'm leaving you with this, a little somethin' that I wrote Please don't take offense, I have a tendency to choke That's why I better write, so I could choose my approach Close your eyes, good night, this is my goodbye note Before I go, just know [Hook:] You're a flower (You're my flower) You're a river (You're my river) You're a rainbow (You're my rainbow) You're my light and I'll never let a day go You're a flower (You're my flower) You're a river (You're my river) You're a rainbow (You're my rainbow) You're my light and I'll never let a day go by, by, by, by, by Goodbye, bye, bye, by
