Lyrics
Hope fades as you edge into the distance
Silently closing all the doors
Wordlessly communicating
You won't do this anymore
Took for granted we were fine
I neglected to make the time
I disregarded all the signs
Took for granted that you were mine
If I said that I was truly sorry
You'd say you'd heard it all before
And I know there's nothing I can do now
But come to terms with all of my remorse
Took for granted we were fine
I neglected to make the time
I disregarded all the signs
Took for granted that you were mine
Surely those days have not been wasted
And I've learned something 'bout myself
So I don't keep on and on repeating
The same mistakes with someone else
Took for granted we were fine
Took for granted you were mine
Took for granted we were fine
I neglected to make the time
I disregarded all the signs
Took for granted that you were mine
