And throw on what I wanted and go

And I'd never get confronted for it

'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you
'Cause he's taking you for granted

Yeah you don't understand, oh
How it feels to love a

Someday you wish you were a better man
You don't  to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you
'Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a
