Taken for Granted

I wanted to be there for you
To be your crying shoulder
I wanted to be there for you
So you wouldn’t be alone to molder

I wanted to hold your hand, and I wanted to catch the tear
To lie to you and tell you
That I would always be here
But I can’t. And I wasn’t.

You have your troubles
And you have your thoughts
But I’m still here
Until our friendship rots

I didn’t know how you would handle it
Me not always being here
But I hope that you’re withstanding it
Because I’m gonna make this crystal clear

I’m not always gonna be there for you
I’m not always gonna be here
Sometimes I won’t be anywhere
I have my own life to steer

My path right now is winding
And my lefts are turning into rights
My rights are leading to mountains
That I’m sure keep changing heights

All of these mountains I keep climbing
But not a foot does the feat come closer
I’m starting to see my fears unwinding
As I have to think my choices over

And as I have to climb these mountains
You stand at the bottom just looking
I’m struggling all by myself
While you just watch things get cooking

But even with you not there with me
I always wanna be there for you
Because one day when I finally can’t help you
All of those missed chances you are going to rue

So pick yourself up
So I don’t have to
Cuz one of these days
You.
Are ONLY going to have you
For you should know,
That I have feelings too.
