Taken for Granted

Do you see, there’s a mighty ghost in me

Can you tell, which is Heaven, which is Hell

You surrendered your heart like an actor in a play

Now words can’t describe what I want to say

How does it feel to be taken for granted

To be pushed around, so fooled, so blinded

To be ripped off from freedom of choice

Cause you believed they were your own true voice

She said, “I never stopped loving you”

I just thought I knew what’s best for you

I wanted to protect you from your own saboteur

And keep your heart untouched and pure

Now I loathe myself for doing this to you

I was a ‘know it all’ like some sort of guru

Would you find it in your heart to forgive my mistake?

So I’d forgive myself and ease away the heartache!
