The Starting Line

I can t turn on the waterworks
Because they won t turn off
Trying not to make the same mistakes
And be a better man than I was

There could never be another one
I ve never said it out loud
It s never easy to talk about
Large part of the love that I was

Handed
Hanging
By a thread
I can t help
I don t want to take you for granted

Could happen to anyone
Really been taking it hard
I tried to get out in front of it
Was no stopping the weight that back-swung

And it could happen to anyone
I ve had it happen too much
When I was facing the brunt of it
Took stock of the love that I was

Handed
Hanging
By a thread
I can t help
I don t want to take you for granted
Granted
Granted
Granted
Now, I don t want to take you for

Well, I ve never felt that weight before
Doubt I could again
And then another round came crashing down
Doubt I could have planned this out
I wept
Nervously broke down
I admit
Distress
My mind was spinning out
Anguish
That I slept off
What I could bare
In mind
That weight
Kept sinking

No, I don t want to take you for
Granted
Granted
Granted
Granted
Granted
Granted
Granted
No, I don t want to take you for granted
