Watchin' 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 need? 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 tryin' to impress You're still lettin' them pull you around just like a marionette And I'm watchin' the way you do this like you're never gonna learn You're just givin' these people everything for nothin' 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 With all these people you're tryin' to impress You're still lettin' them pull you around just like a marionette And I'm watchin' the way you do this like you're never gonna learn You're just givin' these people everything for nothin' 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 With all these people you're tryin' to impress Thanks for watching!
