Don't Take for Granted Lyrics

What if your friend couldn’t tackle

The demons he faced everyday would you give him a call?

What if he’s doubting his purpose

Reasons he is on the earth would you go tell him all?

What if you knew him, due to persistence

But he cannot get through the trauma he faced?

So you let him go, get him replaced?

Or do anything to show he’s not a waste?

You say you love him but you fail to show it

Put others above him so he doesn’t know it

You see this person alone all the time

It’s just him and his demons and he can’t control it

Self medicates, to cope with the pain

Craving the high when he is at his lowest

A night in September, he can’t remember

Wakes up in a hospital he overdosed

How do you feel your friend could’ve killed

Himself because he couldn’t live anymore?

Now you support him and give him the love

He should receive instead of begging for

All that i’m saying is you never know what you have

Til it’s buried 6 feet in the ground

Don’t take for granted, the people you love

You never know when they won’t be around

What if your son overdosed and was hours from dying

Would you go to be by his side?

How would you feel, if you got the call, saying he tried to commit suicide?

You wouldn’t rage, or send him a text, saying that I wouldn’t come to his aid

Due to the fact that his mother was there, so you found another excuse in the air

What if your son’s in a psych hospital, he can’t overcome all the obstacles shown?

You’d be supportive inspiring him and encouraging him that he isn’t alone

Instead you question maturity levels but you failed to bother to question your own

How could you say all those things to your son?

How is it even okay to condone?

How do you feel your son could’ve killed

Himself because he couldn’t live anymore?

Still won’t support him and give him the love

He should receive ever since he was born

All that i’m saying is you never know what you have

Til it’s buried 6 feet in the ground

Don’t take for granted, the people you love

You never know when they won’t be around

What if I told you that person was me?

I was so blinded and I couldn’t see

All of the love that I really receive, because a few people had traumatized me

I cannot take it for granted

I must take advantage of such an opportunity

Now that i’m better, wake up everyday

Thank god for another let’s go and succeed!

How do you feel about beating depression?

How do you feel as you’re learning your lesson?

How do you feel when your life is a blessing

And every second for you is so precious?

All that i’m saying is you never know what you have

Til it’s buried 6 feet in the ground

Don’t take for granted, the people you love

You never know when they won’t be around
