Don't take me for granted

Every generation has some task to fulfill
I can't afford it, it's not my will
Look at the lights flickering in the sea
A short life and a death in glory

Your heart is a diary, it's in charge
Blame it on obsessive love, wild and large
Your mind may release incredible power
You should reap it, hour for hour

Don't take me for granted, oh my love
Our love is sacred from, high above
In that case you'll see
Our love, it was meant to be

Sometimes I perceive objects not like they are
A flower, the moon, the sun so far
But as I'd like to paint them
As black shapes in my inner war

These newborn sunbeams might encourage me to agree
But I'm a helpless dreamer, so avoid me
Dreaming can be a temporary stage
Like feelings, love and rage

Don't take me for granted, oh my love
Our love is sacred from, high above
In that case you'll see
Our love, it was meant to be

If you take it for granted, you might forget
If you can see the truth, you might regret
In that case you'll see
Our love, it was meant to be
