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
