Lyrics
GRANTED
You said, "C'mon girl, you sing like a bird"
You said, "Sit down here and pretend you haven't heard
All the pain and tears and the crying
And the fights and the fears and the lying
Take for granted I am coming home
Take for granted you are not alone?
Well iI?m standing up here on my own
I don't take you for granted anymore
You said, "Baby you know that I'm weak
And baby, I wish that you wouldn't speak
Cause your pain and your tears and your sighin'
It's just the rain and your mood, and I'm trying
Take for granted I am coming home
Take for granted you are not alone
I am coming home
You are not alone.?
Well I'm standing up here on my own. . .
And that spiral that saved you let you out
While I waited you faded trying to get found
Are you peaceful now?
You said, "I know that I disappear. You shouldn't believe everything you hear
Until you clip my wings, I 'll be flying, to escape all the pain I?m defying
Take for granted I am coming home
Take for granted you are not alone..."
Well I'm standing up here on my own. . .
I don't take you for granted anymore
I don't take you for granted anymore
I don?t take you for granted anymore
