You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world You can lie to the one you call your girl You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old?
With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage I realized I'd locked myself in a cage I'll be the one standing there with the watery eyes I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why asking why
When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow And I found that there was no pot of gold Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong For I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul
Look for the one with the watery eyes I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace Scoffing at the world and the whole human race
You can run, you can hide You can feed your foolish pride You can use and abuse In the end you'll always lose at the game
You can run, you can hide You can feed your foolish pride With the hearts that you stole And an empty pot of gold And the lover's warm embrace And the whole damned human race You can use and abuse In the end you'll always lose at the game
