you took me on and you nearly took me down
you're never gonna get anywhere
you never really got anywhere
lost track of times that I have tried to say
oh something has to change

I never really got anywhere, oh oh

pound for pound we stumble through the rounds
and I'm bruised
tit for tat, can't ever take it back
we both lose

you're never gonna stop the rain
but you know you're gonna be ok
when you love someone
there'll always be another fight
but you know you're gonna be alright
when you love someone

I'll take the blame since you decided you're the victim
I never meant to let you down
I never really let you down
don't recognise the things that you remember
oh life's so different through your eyes

I never meant to let you down

time to time I wonder how you we died, do you?
day after day the past is washed away
we're through

you're never gonna stop the rain
but you know you're gonna be ok
when you love someone
there'll always be another fight
but you know you're gonna be alright
when you love someone

it's been the problem all along
you wouldn't hear when I tried to tell you
and how can you pretend there was nothing wrong?
nothing wrong

you're never gonna stop the rain
but you know you're gonna be ok
when you love someone
there'll always be another fight
but you know you're gonna be alright
when you love someone
