Friends - You Give - But Then You Take Away

You give to me 
But then you take
I suppose that was my mistake

I know now what not to do
And that is ever trust you

I will therefore go on my way
Still saying what I need to say

And live my life free every day
Without you or your devious ways

It’s my life to live and not yours
So you keep to your own chores

And if you have something to say
Then just speak to me on the day

Just don’t leave me wondering why
The reasons you must make me cry

Give don’t take is still my motto
Until at least tomorrow

When I may take and not then give

To you my friendship
