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
