You never need forgiveness
left home at seventeen
raised up on hate
to a life that's second rate

I've seen that look before
behind some closing door
You couldn't be delivered
just won't be denied

too much a child
confident and wild
nobody taught you how to live
what to keep and what to give

Now she talks to strangers
who bring her flowers for her hair
but every night you count on me
to get you out the door
then you smile
and watch me lose control

You rain on me
rain down on me
rain down on me
I used to think I knew
what I was waiting for
I don't think that anymore

I didn't know what to bring you
you don't seem to need too much at all
no pearls or chains
and nobody's sad refrains
everytime I wonder why
I think back to the kindness in your eyes

Now everybody wants you
bring you flowers for your hair
but every night you count on me
to peel you off the wall
then you smile
and watch me lose control

You rain on me
rain down on me
rain down on me
I used to think I knew
what I was fighting for
I don't think that anymore
