Granted Lyrics
How can somethin' shake up every dream I hope for?
Wakin' up to everything around me turned cold (Mm-hmm-mm)
Don't wanna go back to second-guessin' my world
But all I've left behind has got me feelin' so torn (Mm-hmm-mm)
[Chorus]
Am I takin' it for granted?
Everything that I've been granted
I keep lyin' awake with these dreams in the dead of the night
'Cause somethin' don't feel right
Will I take it all for granted?
And be leavin' empty-handed?
Oh, I feel shaken, everything's changin' within me
[Verse 2]
It feels so dramatic how erratic I think
Chasin' everything but lеave the ones that chasе me (Ah-ah-ah)
So much movin' forward just to take a step back
When all I ever wanted I already had (Mm-hmm-mm)
[Chorus]
Am I takin' it for granted?
Everything that I've been granted
I keep lyin' awake with these dreams in the dead of the night
'Cause somethin' don't feel right
I won't take it all for granted
And be leavin' empty-handed
Oh, I feel shaken, everything's changin' within me
Let my heart lead me home
'Cause I can't do this anymore
Tryin' to be somebody else
If I never left, I'd never know
Just how far I didn't have to go
To finally feel like myself
[Chorus]
Am I takin' it for granted?
Everything that I've been granted
I keep lyin' awake with these dreams in the dead of the night
'Cause somethin' don't feel right
I won't take it all for granted
And be leavin' empty-handed
Oh, I feel shaken, everything's changin' within me
[Outro]
Am I takin' it for granted?
