I took you in I put you up
You put me up to take me down
I quenched your thirst, filled your lungs
Then you sat back to watch me drown
I gave you space I gave you room
What's a room without a door?
I built this house to keep us safe
You built this house to keep me yours

Take it or leave it this is how I see it
Take it or leave it this is how you need it
Take it or leave it this is how I see it
It's how I see it
Take it or leave it

I let you in you let me down
I keep on wondering why I keep you around
I built these walls with my blood and sweat
I may forgive but I will never forget

I taught you everything I know
You teach but will you ever learn
I fed the fire to keep you warm
Then you sat back to watch me burn
Sticks and stones to make you strong
Broken bones are all you know
I planted seeds to watch you grow
And now you'll reap what you sow
