Maybe I Missed The Point

I know somebody whose life is tough.

I help a little, but it isn't enough

Cuz i go an' spend money on stupid stuff

When i know he's strugglin' to stay above.

An' i have so many chances to be

The hero i believe's inside of me

But i get busy and i get distracted

And i do nothin' when i could've acted

I laid low when i could've stood high.

I said nothin' when i should've asked why.

I saw somethin' that i might've done and i didn't,

A chance to speak my truth and i hid it.

Inside, i'd like to believe i'm cool,

Easy to love and hard to fool,

But i know there's more i could've enjoyed.

Sometimes i find myself thinkin'

Maybe i missed the point.

So many times i turned down love,

Stayed in the dark when i could've lit it up,

But every time i did take a chance

Makes me happy when i'm lookin' back

I'm not sayin' my whole life feels like a joke

But i've been a master of mirrors and smoke

And i don't wanna live

No mo' without you.

I laid low when i could've stood high.

I said nothin' when i should've asked why.

I saw somethin' that i might've done and i didn't,

A chance to speak my truth and i hid it.

Inside, i'd like to believe i'm cool,

Easy to love and hard to fool,

But i know there's more i could've enjoyed.

Sometimes i find myself thinkin'

Maybe i missed the point.
