Fair-weather Friend

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
