You never need forgiveness Left home at seventeen Confident and wild So much a child Nobody taught you how to live What to keep and what to give You couldn't be delivered
Raised on hate You would not be denied To a life that's second rate Behind some closing door I've seen that look before Who bring her flowers for her hair
Now she talks to strangers But every night you call on me Then you smile To get you out the door And watch me lose control
You rain on me I used to think I knew Rain down on me Rain down on me What I was waiting for I don't think that anymore
You didn't seem to need too much at all I never knew what to bring you No pearls or chains And nobody's sad refrains I think back to the kindness in your eyes Every time I wonder why
Now everybody wants you But every night you call on me Then you smile Bring you flowers for your hair To peel you off the wall
And I just lose control You rain on me Rain down on me I used to think I knew Rain down on me What I was fighting for I don't think that anymore
