[Verse 1]
Well 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 you keep and what to give
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and now she talks to strangers
Bring her flowers for her hair
And every night you count on me
To get you out the door
Oh, then you smile and watch me lose control
[Chorus]
Rain on me
Oh, rain down on me
Oh, rain down on me, yeah

Every time I wonder why
I think back to the kindness in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Now everybody wants you
Bring you flowers for your hair
And every night you count on me
To lead you off the wall
Oh, then you smile and watch me lose control
[Chorus]
Rain on me
Oh, rain down on me
Oh, rain down on me, yeah
I used to think I knew
What I was fighting for
Oh, I don't think that anymore
