I stand out breaking in the Portland rain
I see the end there in your eyes
As I watch you drive awayI walk back blind into my cold dream house
And I think about the damage
As I put the big light outI sit down smoking on my basement floor
I hear footsteps up above me
And they're right outside my front doorThe only place that I want to be
Is watching you move up on top of me
The only sound that I want to hear
Is the rain against my window as you whisper in my earBaby, you know I love it when you call me baby
I go upstairs and find my twelve-year-old
She's got tears running down her face
Sitting sad at my pianoShe sings soft words from that old Beatles song
And I think about my yesterday
And all the things I did wrongThe only place that I want to be
Is watching you sweet dream in bed right next to me
The only sound that I want to hear
Is the rain against my window as I pull you nearDon't give up on me
Baby, can't you you see?
We could make this be
The way it used to beDon't give up on me
I wish I could make you see
That I am changing everyday
Trying to build a better me
We could make this be
The way it's supposed to be
Don't give up on meI stand out in the rain
Where I watched you drive away
I never thought I would live to see
This fucked-up dayI stand out in the rain
In the middle of the night
I wish that it could wash away
The beast insideThe only thing I want to do
Is kiss you when I'm coming deep inside of you
The only sound that I want to hear
Is the rain against my window as I hold youDon't give up on me
Oh baby, can't you see?
We could make this be
The way it used to beDon't give up on me
I wish I could make you see
That I am changing everyday
Trying to build a better meWe could make this be
The way it's supposed to be
Don't give up on me
