some things you want will just never be right

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb.

Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown.
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down.

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
But I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain...

It's hard to know when to give up the fight
Some things you want will just never be right.
It's never rained like it has tonight, before...

Now I don't wanna beg you, baby
For something maybe you could never give.
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live.

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
But I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain...

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
But I'm still in love on underneath this shroud
Rain...

- Patty Griffin, "Rain"
