You don't give All you do is take Never cared It's all about you anyway And when it all gets to your head You take me for a foolish narrow man And as you've faded by the years You'd never even turn a helping hand Oh, you have to know You make it hard to call this home It's gone too far to mend But I'll be damned if I forget I'm seeing a trend Of a fair-weathered friend And it's breaking my bones I'm waiting for The return of better days But it's eating me alive To watch it all decay If you were painting what is real You wouldn't live off what you can pretend And now my words are being spent On a person that I've frequently condemned Oh, you have to know You make it hard to call this home It's gone too far to mend But I'll be damned if I forget I'm seeing a trend Of a fair-weathered friend And it's breaking my bones When I look back to all those summer nights We were young and out of our minds Oh, and now the only time that you ever talk to me Is if you find there's something that you need Oh, you have to know You make it hard to call this home It's gone too far to mend But I'll be damned if I forget I'm seeing a trend Of a fair-weathered friend And it's breaking my bones
