You never need forgiveness Left home at seventeen So much a child Confident and wild Nobody taught you how to live What to keep and what to give
You couldn't be delivered You would not be denied Raised on hate To a life that's second rate I've seen that look before Behind some closing door
Now she talks to strangers Who bring her flowers for her hair But every night you call 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 never knew what to bring you You didn't seem to need too much at all No pearls or chains And nobody's sad refrains Every time 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 call on me To peel you off the wall Then you smile And I just 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
