Fairweather Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My friends look out for me
Like my extended family
They always have my back, right or wrong
Despite our differences
I even gave you money to live
After everyone had written you off, right or wrong
You were a fairweather friend
You didn't have my back till the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
Fairweather friend, you didn't have my back till the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
I always had a weak spot for you
You only needed me when it was convenient
I learn now, don't let people in my life so fast
'Cause' they never last
I find my childhood friends are the ones I can depend on
'Cause' everyone has a past, right or wrong
You were a fairweather friend
You didn't have my back till the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
Fairweather friend, you didn't have my back till the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
We don't need friends like you
We don't need friends like you
We don't need friends like you
Right or Wrong
You were a fairweather friend
You didn't have my back till the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
Fairweather friend, you didn't have my back till the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
