Granted

I can't turn on the waterworks
Because they won't turn off
Trying not to make the same mistakes
And be a better man than I was

There could never be another one
I've never said it out loud
It's never easy to talk about
Large part of the love that I was

Handed
Hanging
By a thread
I can't help
I don't want to take you for granted

Could happen to anyone
Really been taking it hard
I tried to get out in front of it
Was no stopping the weight that back-swung

And it could happen to anyone
I've had it happen too much
When I was facing the brunt of it
Took stock of the love that I was

Handed
Hanging
By a thread
I can't help
I don't want to take you for granted
Granted
Granted
Granted
Now, I don't want to take you for

Well, I've never felt that weight before
Doubt I could again
And then another round came crashing down
Doubt I could have planned this out
I wept, nervously broke down
I admit, distress, my mind was spinning out
Anguish that I slept off
What I could bare in mind
That weight kept sinking

No, I don't want to take you for
Granted (granted)
Granted (granted)
Granted (granted)
Granted
No, I don't want to take you for granted
