We've 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
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
oh,now she talks to strangers
Bring her flowers for her hair
and every night you count on me
get you out the door
ah,then you smile
and watch me lose control
Raining on me
Oh, rain down on me
Oh, rain down on me Yeah
I used to think I knew
What I was waiting for
I don't think that anymore
Didn't know what to bring you
Don't seem to need to much at all
No pearls or chains
Yeah, nobody's sad refrains
Everytime I wonder why
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
Peel you off the wall
Oh, then you smile at me
And watch me lose control
Raining on me
Oh,rain down on me
Oh, rain down on me Yeah
I used to think I knew
What I was fighting for
Oh, I don't think that anymore
