It's the way that I can't seem to get it right
Even though I've tried a million times
It's the weight that I can't carry
It's the shame that I can't bury
Like a thorn that's stuck here in my side
It's the times You've never turned to walk away
Even when I lie right to Your face
It's the love that keeps on givin'
It's the voice that says, "Forgiven"
When You know, I've abused You for Your grace
Why did it take so long for me to notice?
Why did it take so long for me to see?
I took You for granted, but You take me as I am
You've been far too good to a man like me
Love like this is hard to understand
But the proof is in the scars upon Your hands
And I know I don't deserve it
Heaven knows I tried to earn it
But I fail You, time and time again
Why did it take so long for me to notice?
Why did it take so long for me to see? Yeah
I took You for granted, but You take me as I am
You've been far too good to a man like me
Yeah, far too good to a man like me
Yeah, You've been far too good to a man like me, yeah
There are parts of me that only You have seen
And I wouldn't blame You if You tried to leave
But You never asked for perfect
You just told me I was worth it
And my heart is all You want from me
So, why did it take so long for me to notice?
Why did it take so long for me to see? Yeah
I took You for granted, but You take me as I am
Why did it take so long for me to notice?
Why did it take so long for me to see? Yeah
I took You for granted, but You take me as I am
You've been far too good to a man like me
Oh, You've been far too good to a man like me
Still, You are for too good to a man like me
