I've finally reached a conclusion   I just wore off like an old coat of paint   On a car, parked on the street   Left out in the rain   I eroded and began to decay   I'm a knot that started to fray   All this time I was keeping us together   So strongly tethered and then I gave way      Split open this fault line   And find every fault of mine   What used to be enough   Is just scraping the surface   But I won't let you give up   Cause I still have a purpose       I finally know what happened   You just outgrew me like a pair of jeans   With holes in the knees   And split-end inseams   As they faded so did we   I'm an old and dying tree   Whose sweet fruit suddenly turned sour   And left you with nothing to eat      Chorus      I'm your friday night football games   You forget about when you graduate   I'm the fairground fortune teller   Who will seal my own fate   I'm the 18th candle you blew out on your birthday   I'm the card you read, and keep for a week   Then unconsciously throw away   I'm the missing piece of you   You'll die trying to replace      Cause I'm nothing more than a rainbow, you forgot about long after the rain      Chorus      As the year changes seasons   Try to find every reason   Why I wasn't enough   It's not worth saving face   I'm the missing piece of you   You'll die trying to replace
