When I spoke what was on my mind   I wasn't thinking of your heart   I wasn't thinking when I said those things   That landed us so far apart      How my world is ending   With a chance remark   You can't take love for granted      And you look at me with your wounded eyes   And I look back with fear   There used to be such faith between us   Now its just not here      And the door was slammed hours ago   But its still ringing in my ears   You can't take love for granted      It was a funny way to show, I love you   Funny way to care   It's a funny thing to be without you   As empty as your stare      You can't take love for granted   It's got its own free will   It's got a mind of its own when it wants one   And looks that can kill      One day you're in Heaven, darlin'   The next you feel like hell   You can't take love for granted      You can speak what's on your mind   If you've got a gamblers heart   You can be the truth incarnate   You can shoot straight in the dark      You can pull the moon down, baby   With a lasso made of stars   But you can't take love for granted, no   You can't take love for granted, no   You can't take love
