Rain Down On Me

Rain Down On Me Lyrics

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
