I thought I was alone,
thought you didn't care, but you let it show-
I took it for granted.
Loved me undercover, how could I trust?
Hid feelings from you and I thought it was just.
I took it for granted.
I started to grow, you made me stronger;
I decided I should stick around home a little longer.
I took it for granted.
You came home from work in pain, said it was your fate.
And I whine over the food on my plate.
I took it for granted.
You became old, same as me.
Told me to love while I had the time.
But you left me before I realized I cared-
and now I cry as I look back on the times we shared.
I'm sorry -so sorry- I took you for granted.
