Lyrics
The Point Of It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you're screaming in my ear "what's the point of it"
When you're sure no one can hear or none that you'll admit
Say that we're afraid, say that we were wrong
Maybe that's ok, if we're not so strong
That's the point of it
When you choose to hide your eyes, take me out of here
Finding comfort in our life, before it disappears
Say that we're afraid, say you're not the one
Maybe that's ok, if we're not so young
That's the point of it
When I'm standing next to you, that's the point of it
When there's no one but us two, that's the point of it
Say that we're afraid, say the night is cold
Honey that's ok, if we're getting old
If we're not so strong, if our story's told
That's the point of being loved.
