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
