Watching as the light fades in, everybody else is asleep
Nobody keeps you as well as these friends you keep
But how do you hold on to those who turn their backs when it′s your turn to knee?You just get more than you got until everybody sees
Now, I know you've never needed the pity of anyone
Not even your father for making you what you′ve become
But if you let these people take whatever you may bring
They'll take advantage while they're taking you for everything
With all these people you′re trying to impress
You′re still letting them pull you around just like a marionette
And I'm watching the way you do this, like you′re not gonna learn
You just giving these people everything with nothing in return
Now, I know you've never needed the pity of anyone
Not even your father for making you what you′ve become
But if you let these people take whatever you may bring
They'll take advantage while they′re taking you for everything
