Can’t Take Love for Granted Mary Chapin Carpenter

[Verse 1]
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
Now my world is ending
With a chance remark
You can't take love for granted

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
And 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, darling
The next you feel like hell
You can't take love for granted
