Chasing Rainbows

No Use For A Name

Just heard the news today,
Let yourself down once again
Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes
Will you do anything,
To satisfy your so-called friend?
There's something you ought to know,
Before you explode

All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do
I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know
Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth

It's all fucked up,
Being reserved and quiet
She doesn't understand the message that you send
Don't give it all away somewhere, someday there's someone
Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time (never)

All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mine
Kicking you is easy when you're down that's where the weak know
To release their anger on someone who will not try
To stand up,
And give them a fight

    this song is awesome. a perfect song for someone you really care about who's always depressed because of bad people.

    my brother said this song should've been written about me and i can think of about 4 of my friends it could've been written about.....basicly he's saying stop trusting every one and comparing putting all ur trust in some one to trying to find the end of a rainbow--eg and impossible task. i love the song. xxx

    don't always trust everyone. sometimes you have to learn that the hard way.

    opening up to people too easily, trusting people too easily, and expecting nobody to stab you in the back..

    The old adage "Trust no man" is very evident in this song. Trust people, but not to the point where they can push you around like a helpless, defenseless sparrow (or something small like that). I like this song because it often applies to me and sometimes serves as a reminder to be careful.

    i think NUFAN really took a serious issue and put it simply. sometimes when people are always patting you on the back, they're only looking for a place to put the knife. this song rocks my socks. and you guys all do too!
