to me, this song is CAN be seen in the context of a breakup, but personally i think its abt sadness in general.\n\nthe person "loses their smile" because they are sad and it affects them and everything around them. \n\nthe "sweet lies on their face" is them saying they\'re ok, that everything is fine. \n\n"tears out of place" because they cry so much.\n\n"sunshine in the rain, comes in rainbows and leaves again" they have periods where they get happy, but ultimately they go back to being sad.\n\n"when all the while, child/it\'s your own self giving in/who\'s to blame this time?" it\'s on the person for letting their sadness affect them so much.\n\n"dreams, baby, do come true" could be the person dreaming of being happy again and that their dream of being happy will come true.
