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
