You used to smile when hope and a pat on the back
would last throughout the day
As the rain kept fallin' down on you
you wouldn't let them wash the feeling away
Hope itself dried out in you
as you heard your man walking away
without a word



And you thought:
Who's gonna make my decisions
I can't make'em on my own
Who's gonna rise the occasion
when there's no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me
I don't believe in myself
Who's gonna be there forever
well it ain't gonna be him
