Taking You For Granted

I've been thinking.
Thinking about what you said to me, and now I see.
You keep waiting,
anticipating the perfect me, and I guarentee that
last night I watched you sleeping and it opened up my eyes.

How long do you have to wait for me to turn around, pick my feet up off the ground.
And I still make the same mistakes, and I ask myself again,
Why do I have to make it so bad.

I really ought to appreciate you,
And I don't see why you're with me.
I really need to appreciate you,
And I don't believe that you're still with me.
'Cos last night I heard you crying and it made me realise.
